Chromonic Ionic Liquid Crystals Forming Nematic and Hexagonal Columnar Phases
We designed an ionic salt by combining a π-conjugated anion and a cholinium cation. It formed homogeneous mixtures with water in various weight ratios. The obtained mixtures showed chromonic liquid-crystalline behavior in a wider concentration range as compared to analogous compounds with inorganic...
