Chiral Photoresponsive Liquid Crystalline Materials Derived from Cyanoazobenzene Central Core: Effect of UV Light Illumination on Mesomorphic Behavior
One of the most frequently utilized liquid crystalline (LC) materials is a rod-like (calamitic) compound 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5-CB). The main objective of this work is to enhance its functionality by introducing a photoresponsive diazenyl spacer in the aromatic core and replace the non-chiral...
