Covalently grafting nonmesogenic moieties onto polyoxometalate for fabrication of thermotropic liquid-crystalline nanomaterials

Abstract

We demonstrated herein the first class of polyoxometalate-containing thermotropic liquid-crystalline materials, in which the nonmesogenic organic moieties were covalently tethered onto the nanoscaled polyoxometalate. These materials showed the layered smectic A (SmA) phase when cooling from the isotropic state.
