Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene derivatives carrying dovetailed alkyl and diacetylenic side chains: a synthesis, characterization, and polymerization study

Abstract

A new polymerizable 2,8,14-triphenylhexabenzo[bc,ef,hi,kl,no,qr]coronene (HBC) mesogen bearing alternating dovetailed and linear alkyl chains with a diacetylenic unit were successfully synthesized in this study.
