The thermal behaviour of freeze dried and water saturated samples of a homologous series of hexagonal columnar, liquid-crystalline cis,cis-(3,5-dihydroxycyclohexyl)-3,4,5-tris(alkoxy)benzoates (three chain diols) is discussed. The water absorption from a saturated atmosphere as well as in direct contact is also described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
