Non‐conventional mesophases have been observed in novel ferrocene‐containing liquid crystals. The formation of helical and garland‐like superstructures, and spontaneous resolution into macroscopic chiral domains occur in the lamellar mesophase. The nematic mesophase shows unusual textures and chiral nematic droplets such as those depicted.
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.
