Abstract

Novel cinnamic-acid-derived H-bonded liquid crystals with enantiotropic BP*s were facilely prepared. When simply modifying the donor–acceptor ratio, the proportion of (S)-4-(2-octanyloxy) cinnamic acid to 4-(4-propylcyclohexyl) phenyl isonicotinate, the generated BP temperature ranges were consequentially extended with the widest range of about 10 °C, which is seldom found in enantiotropic BP materials. The optimized results of density-functional-theory calculations show that cinnamic-acid-derived mesogens have a bent shape and thus could be beneficial to stabilize enantiotropic blue phases.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
