“…A variety of one-dimensional (1D) columnar LC assemblies have been formed by self-assembly through dipole–dipole interactions. − We previously reported ion-responsive columnar liquid crystals based on polar triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) . TPPO has a large dipole moment of 4.31 debye located in the central phosphine oxide core from the phosphorus atom to the oxygen atom, making it a promising candidate for obtaining 1D polar assemblies of LC molecules under external E-fields (Figure a).…”

We have developed a polar polymer film with a fixed polar assembly based on the phosphine oxide group. A polymerizable columnar liquid crystal with a polar triphenylphosphine oxide core was designed and synthesized. The in situ photopolymerization of the columnar liquid crystal under electric fields leads to fixation of a one-dimensional polar alignment of the phosphine oxide group. Fixation of the polarity of the cross-linked film was confirmed based on the results of second-harmonic generation measurements. In contrast, the polarity of the non-cross-linked triphenylphosphine oxide-based columnar liquid crystals was switchable under external electric fields. Moreover, it was not maintained after the removal of the electric fields. These findings have significant implications for potential applications in piezo-responsive devices and contribute to a broader understanding of polar liquid crystals and their prospective uses.

Hydantoin hexameric rosettes: harnessing H-bonds for supergelation and liquid crystals

Abstract: We present two hydantoin isomers that self-assemble through hydrogen bonding in solution and in bulk, either in a bowl-shaped or planar rosette, resulting in remarkable liquid crystals and gelation properties.
