Thermally reversible full color selective reflection in a self-organized helical superstructure enabled by a bent-core oligomesogen exhibiting a twist-bend nematic phase

Abstract

A self-organized helical superstructure was found to exhibit thermally tunable, reversible selective reflection of light across the whole visible region upon doping with an achiral bent-core hybrid trimer having a twist-bend nematic phase.
