Multifunctional Materials via Molecular Self-Organization into Liquid-Crystalline Phase

Abstract:

In this paper, we described the synthesis of N,N’-di-(2-ammoniumethyl)perylene- 3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide) ditrifluoroacetate (1), an ionic organic compound that self-organized to give chromonic liquid crystals and anisotropic crystals. Using a polymer template with micrometer-scale features to direct the ordered arrangement of 1, patterned structure with micrometer-scale local order was fabricated. The anisotropic (direction-dependent) properties of the crystals and micropatterns of 1 were investigated.
