A survey of liquid crystalline oxadiazoles

Soft Condensed Matter 2008-12-04 v1

Abstract

We propose a survey of those oxadiazole compounds, which are mesogenic. We will see that they can have bend-shaped molecules, a biaxial nematic phase, or other interesting peculiarities in the nematic and smectic phase. With large electric dipoles and luminescent properties, these materials are also very appealing for technological applications.
