Abstract: We report the first example of solvent-dependent helix inversion in poly(diphenylacetylene) (PDPA) derivatives. Asymmetrically substituted PDPAs bearing optically active substituents linked through amide bonds formed preferred-handed helical conformations because of the optically active substituents in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.5c10070
Abstract: We report the design and synthesis of a novel chiral arylazopyrazole (AAP) molecular switch, which exhibits robust photoresponsive behavior in nematic liquid crystal (LC) hosts. By integrating both cholesterol and AAP moieties, the dopant induces… read more here.
