Shape-persistent macrocycle with intraannular alkyl groups: some structural limits of discotic liquid crystals with an inverted structure

The synthesis and thermal properties of new shape-persistent macrocycles of different sizes decorated with intraannular alkyl chains are described. The alkyl chain length is in all cases sufficient to cross the rings and to fill their interior completely. The investigation of the thermal behavior ha...
