Boron Clusters as the Centerpiece of Advanced Liquid Crystals: Fundamental Chemistry and Properties

Liquid crystals incorporating boron clusters are of interest for electro-optics, ion transport, and fundamental structure-property relationship studies. A liquid crystal is a fluid possessing orientational and positional order between that of the lattice of a solid (long-range orientational and long...
