Synthesis of New U-Shaped Azobenzene Liquid Crystals for Photoswitching Properties

A new series of liquid crystalline compounds comprising a U-shaped unit as central core incorporating azobenzene in the side arms and having terminal alkene functional groups, is synthesized and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized-light optical microscopy (POM), X-ray...
