Liquid crystalline 2-thienyl-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazines exhibiting Im
m and Pm
n micellar cubic phases in an inverted sequence†
Abstract
Two micellar cubic phases with different structures were observed for the first time in the order Imm–Pm
n in a thermotropic phase sequence of 4,6-diaminotriazine terminated rod-like liquid crystals upon increasing alkyl chain length or rising temperature.
