A complex of poly(4-vinylpyridine) and tolane based hemi-phasmid benzoic acid: towards luminescent supramolecular side-chain liquid crystalline polymers†
Abstract
A supramolecular side-chain liquid crystalline (LC) polymer P4VP(1)x was prepared using poly(4-vinylpyridine) and a tolane based hemi-phasmid benzoic acid. P4VP(1)x exhibits good processability, forming smectic and hexagonal columnar LC phases at different compositions. Its photoluminescence properties depend on the LC structures.
