Supramolecular liquid crystals exhibiting a chiral twist-bend nematic phase

Abstract

The characterisation of a selection of novel, chiral supramolecular liquid crystals formed by hydrogen-bonding is reported; these are the first examples of the chiral twist-bend nematic phase (N*TB) induced by H-bonding through molecular recognition.
