Tuning the Liquid Crystallinity of Cholesteryl-<i>o</i>-Carborane Dyads: Synthesis, Structure, Photoluminescence, and Mesomorphic Properties

Tuning the Liquid Crystallinity of Cholesteryl-<i>o</i>-Carborane Dyads: Synthesis, Structure, Photoluminescence, and Mesomorphic Properties

A set of mesomorphic materials in which the <i>o</i>-carborane cluster is covalently bonded to a cholesteryl benzoate moiety (mesogen group) through a suitably designed linker is described. The olefin cross-metathesis between appropriately functionalized styrenyl-<i>o</i>-car...
