Abstract
Stimuli responsive 3D columnar liquid crystals and soft crystals of supramolecular anthracene mesogens were investigated in a study. X-ray scattering, modeling and temperature variable FT-IR studies confirm helical stacked tilted mesogens uncovering unusual lateral hydrogen bonding for the columnar phases transforming by second-order transition from a columnar orthorhombic to a columnar monoclinic phase. The target compounds were synthesized starting from 6-hydroxyanthracene-2-carboxylic acid according to Ihmels and Hibbs.
