Hierarchical chirality transfer and thermally induced supramolecular chirality inversion in cholesteryl schiff-base liquid crystal dimers
A new series of nonsymmetric cholesterol-based Schiff-base liquid crystal dimers has been designed by linking a cholesteryl unit to a two-ring Schiff-base mesogenic core through flexible alkylene spacers to investigate the combined influence of spacer architecture and terminal chirality on mesophase evolution and sup...
