Viologens that are useful as stimulus-responsive compounds and exhibit a low-order liquid-crystalline (LC) phase at relatively low temperatures (approximately 20 °C), can be developed into materials that combine the redox...

Abstract The mesomorphic behavior of N-(4-n-alkylbenzylidene)-4′-n-alkylanilines is investigated and nematic as well as smectic-B phases are found at comparatively low temperatures. Long aliphatic substituents on the aldehyde side of the molecule favor the smectic-B phase. Observations on smectic-B textures, transition enthalpies and density measurements are reported. The simple method used to determine transition temperatures despite impure samples can also be applied to other compounds, e. g. yielding 21.6 - 47.5 °C for the nematic range of MBBA.

The effect of thionation on the formation of columnar liquid crystalline phases of dibenzanthracenedicarboximides as well as their self-association in solution is described.
