Hexacatenar Columnar Liquid Crystals with a Perfluoronaphthalene-Core: Synthesis, Self-Organization, Charge Transport and Photoluminescence
Columnar liquid crystals featuring one-dimensional charge transport and self-assembly are of considerable interest for organic electronic applications such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Fluorination emerges as a powerful strategy to fine-tune the mesomorphic be...
