Dendritic and multipodal liquid-crystalline materials based on organic-inorganic hybrid carbosilazane cores
The synthesis of the first inorganic-organic hybrid liquid crystal dendrimers, which exhibit enantiotropic nematic and smectic C phase behaviour is presented and the liquid-crystalline phase properties are discussed.
