New Para-substituted Non-symmetric Isoflavones for their Fast Photo-switching Ability: Synthesis and their Liquid Crystal Characterization

The first example of non-symmetric isoflavone-based fast photo-switchable liquid crystals with different functional groups at the terminal position were synthesized and characterized. Polarizing optical microscopy study revealed that the compounds showed least ordered nematic phase. Optical photo sw...
