Today where everybody is using a large variety of electronic devices such as notebook and
tablet computers, smart phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, flat panel TVs, as well as …

Past decades we have witnessed many breakthroughs in research on liquid crystals (LCs)
as well as significant amplification in the application of LCs. LCs are currently attracting …

Liquid crystalline donor (ie, phthalocyanine) was covalently linked to acceptor (ie, fullerene)
to achieve efficient charge-transport properties in a liquid crystalline phase. The columnar …

Understanding the molecular self-assembly behavior, especially at the microscopic level,
sheds light on the rational design of artificial supramolecular systems at surfaces. In this …

Axially polar ferroelectric columnar liquid crystals (AP‐FCLCs) are materials in which the
molecules are self‐organized into axially polar columns and exhibit switching and holding of …

Three new discotic liquid crystalline (DLC) penta (phenylethynyl) benzene derivatives
(HSC0X, X= 1–3) in nonchiral, homogeneously chiral, and racemic conformations were …

Controlled double-deck packing is an appealing means to expand upon conventional 2D
self-assembly which is critical in crystal engineering, yet it is rare and poorly understood …

In this study, the multilayer self-assembled molecular network formation of an alkylated
tetrathiafulvalene compound is studied at the liquid–solid interface between 1-phenyloctane …

Tetra (arylalkynyl) pyridines and tetra (arylalkenyl) pyridines and their benzene analogues
were prepared by palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions from the commercially …

The alkyl-derivatized diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole pigment shows complicated thermal behavior. It
shows polymorphism, cold crystallization (first report for pigments and dyes), and solid–solid …
