New U-shaped Liquid Crystals Azobenzene Derived from Catechol for Photoswitching Properties

A new series of liquid crystals whose molecular structure consists of a U-shaped unit as a central core and two rod-like azobenzenes as the peripheral units are synthesized. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray d...
