The rhombic honeycomb - a new mode of self-assembly in liquid crystalline soft matter

The rhombic honeycomb - a new mode of self-assembly in liquid crystalline soft matter

Rod-like liquid crystalline (LC) polyphilic compounds with a linear oligo(phenyleneethynylene) core, sticky glycerol groups at each end and two long alkyl side chains (C 20 -C 32 ) at opposite sides form rhombic honeycombs with inner angles around 60/120°, occurring between triangular and square til...

Zusammenfassung:Rod-like liquid crystalline (LC) polyphilic compounds with a linear oligo(phenyleneethynylene) core, sticky glycerol groups at each end and two long alkyl side chains (C 20 -C 32 ) at opposite sides form rhombic honeycombs with inner angles around 60/120°, occurring between triangular and square tiling patterns. Self-assembly of rod-like molecules with sticky ends (blue) and lateral chains (red) depending on chain volume and strength of core-chain segregation, forms honeycombs with triangular ( p 6 mm ), rectangular ( c 2 mm ), and square ( p 4 mm ) cells.
