Induction of Polyacetylene to a Chiral Smectic Liquid Crystal–Chiral Direct Conversion
The synthesis of polyacetylene-bearing pyrimidine-type three-ringed mesogenic core exhibiting smectic C (SmC) characteristics was conducted. Gas-phase iodine doping of the polymer provided evidence of chemical interaction between the polyene and iodine, which acted as an electron acceptor. The side-...
