Viologen-Based Conjugated Covalent Organic Networks via Zincke Reaction

TL;DR: The use of Zincke reaction is reported for the first time to fabricate, under either solvothermal or microwave conditions, a viologen-linked covalent organic network in the form of hollow particles or nanosheets, which is stable in acidic, neutral, and basic aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-assembled pentacenequinone derivative for trace detection of picric acid.

TL;DR: Pentacenequinone derivative 3 works as sensitive chemosensor for picric acid and gel-coated paper strips detect PA at nanomolar level and provide a simple, portable, and low-cost method for detection of PA in aqueous solution, vapor phase, and in contact mode.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray studies on the columnar structures of discotic liquid crystals

TL;DR: The columnar mesophase as mentioned in this paper is characterized by a structure in which the disc shaped molecules are stacked one on top of the other to form columns, the different columns constituting a two-dimensional lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Columnar self-assembly of star-shaped luminescent oxadiazole and thiadiazole derivatives

TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of blue light emitting liquid crystalline star-shaped molecules based on 1,3,4-thiadiazoles have been designed and synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Luminescent, liquid crystalline tris(N-salicylideneaniline)s: synthesis and characterization.

TL;DR: A new class of discotics derived from tris(N-salicylideneaniline)s have been synthesized and their thermal and photophysical properties are investigated, and the blue light emission has been evidenced for the former state.
