Functionalised lower rim calix[4]arene liquid crystal properties.

      Аннотация: Liquid crystal (LC), being fourth state of the matter, are exceptionally well-designed soft materials that include both direction and flexibility on a molecular and macroscopic layer. Recently, thermotropic liquid crystals have gained so much consideration due to their role in temperature sensors, electro-optic display and semiconducting layer in organic field effect transistors , light emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells and photo-recording devices . LC is now playing tremendous contribution in material science with various nanomaterial. LC is predominantly used for their technological applications in liquid-crystal display (LCD). Calix[n]arene gives an ideal platform with unlimited freedom in regioselective and sterioselective derivatisation with easy modification at the upper rim and lower rim by means of non-covalent interaction, intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding.
