Evidence of Counterion Size Effect on the Stability of Columnar Phase of Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Pyridinium Salts Derived from <i>N</i>-3,4,5-Tri(alkyloxy)-benzyl-4-pyridones

The synthesis and characterization of novel ionic liquid crystals based on pyridinium salts with Br<sup>−</sup> and PF<sub>6</sub><sup>−</sup> counterions are described in this work. These pyridinium salts were derived from 4-hydroxypyridine, both by <i>N<...
