Liquid crystals are considered as the “fourth state of matter”. 1 Their properties are
intermediate between that of the crystalline solid state and that of the liquid state. Liquid …

Over one century after its discovery, pyrylium salt chemistry has been extensively applied in
preparing light emitters, photocatalysts, and sensitizers. In most of these studies, pyrylium …

Microwave promoted synthesis of novel imidazolium-based ionic liquid crystalline dimers
containing calamitic–calamitic, calamitic–discotic and discotic–discotic moieties is reported …

Recently, part of our work has been devoted to the functionalization of liquid crystalline (LC)
polymers with ionic groups. 1-3 The aim of the work was to combine the self-organization …

A series of viologen polymers with bromide, tosylate, and triflimide as counterions were
prepared by either the Menshutkin reaction or metathesis reaction in a common organic …

The photopolymerization of triphenylene‐substituted 1‐vinylimidazole yielded a novel ionic
discotic liquid crystalline polymer. The thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of both the …

Several novel poly (pyridinium salt) s with oxyalkylene moieties in the main chain with bulky
organic counterions (tosylate and triflimide) were prepared by either the ring-transmutation …

Recently, nitrogen-containing polymers have received unabated attention in the design and
synthesis of electroluminescent polymers. 1-10 They typically consist of π-electron-deficient …

By use of the Menshutkin reaction a variety of polyviologens have been synthesised
containing bromide or tosylate counter-ions and varying numbers of methylene units. These …

Two poly (pyridinium salt) s with bulky organic counterions (tosylate and triflimide) were
synthesized by either the ring-transmutation polymerization reaction of 4, 4 '-(1, 4 …
