Low temperature enantiotropic nematic phases from V-shaped, shape-persistent molecules

Low temperature enantiotropic nematic phases from V-shaped, shape-persistent molecules

A series of V-shaped, shape-persistent thiadiazole nematogens, based on an oligo(phenylene ethynylene) scaffold with ester groups connected via alkyloxy spacers, was efficiently prepared by a two-step procedure. Phase engineering results in an optimum of the mesophase range and low melting temperatu...
