A Star-Shaped Oligo (Phenylenevinylene) Liquid Crystal Host With An Anthracene Guest-A Double Nanosegregating Supermesogen

Abstract Hexasubstituted C3-symmetric benzenes with three elongated shape-persistent oligo(phenylenevinylene) arms and three pyridyl hydrogen bond acceptors have been synthesized. These mesogens assemble in a double…
