Ionic N-Phenylpyridinium Tetracatenar Mesogens:N -phenylpyridinium tetracatenar mesogens: Competing driving forces in mesophase formation and unprecedented difference in phase stabilisation within a homologous series
Ionic, tetracatenar liquid crystals containing an N-phenylpyridinum core are described; many of these compounds display a SmA phase, something extremely rare in tetracatenar materials. The competing forces driving mesophase formation lead to an unprecedented difference in phase stabilities for SmA a...

| Zusammenfassung: | Ionic, tetracatenar liquid crystals containing an N-phenylpyridinum core are described; many of these compounds display a SmA phase, something extremely rare in tetracatenar materials. The competing forces driving mesophase formation lead to an unprecedented difference in phase stabilities for SmA and Colh phases. |
