posted on 2016-02-17, 01:46 authored by Zhihui Cheng, Ying Zang, Yi Li, Baozong Li, Chuanjiang Hu, Hongkun Li, Yonggang YangWe have synthesised a chiral liquid crystal with a tolane unit that exhibits intense fluorescence in both solution and the solid states. The liquid crystal can form the enantiotropic twist-grain boundary A (TGBA*) and Blue II phases, and the helical pitch of the TGBA* phase decreases with an increasing temperature.
