A new type of symmetrical banana-shaped material based on N-methyldiphenylamine as a core moiety exhibiting an Ad→A2 transition
摘要:
The synthesis and characterization of a homologous series of Schiff bases consisting of an N-methyldiphenylamine moiety as the central core is reported, which exhibits smectic A phase and transitions from the partial bilayer SmA(d) phase to the bilayer SmA(2) phase as the temperature is lowered.
