Tailoring Liquid Crystalline Self‐Assembly and Photophysical Properties of Unsymmetrical Fluorenones via Polar Terminal Groups

ABSTRACT In this work, a series of novel unsymmetrical fluorenone derivatives bearing various head groups (H, Br, NO 2 , NH 2 , and CN) was synthesized and investigated with respect to their mesomorphic and photophysical properties. Depending on the head group, SmA, N, or SmC pha...
