A Low‐Molar‐Mass, Monodispersive, Bent‐Rod Dimer Exhibiting Biaxial Nematic and Smectic A Phases
Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad,Subbarao Krishna Prasad,Geetha G. Nair,Indudhara Swamy Shashikala,Doddamane S. Shankar Rao,Chetan V. Lobo,S. Chandrasekhar +6 more
TL;DR: A "peelable banana" is formed when a bent-core molecule is linked to a rodlike mesogen through a flexible aliphatic spacer in this novel low-molar-mass organic system, which displays a transition from a biaxial nematic (N b ) phase to a bIAxial smectic A phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blue Phase, Smectic Fluids, and Unprecedented Sequences in Liquid Crystal Dimers
Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad,Indudhara Swamy Shashikala,Guangxun Liao,Doddamane S. Shankar Rao,Subbarao Krishna Prasad,Quan Li,Antal Jakli +6 more
TL;DR: Several optically pure liquid crystal dimers with strong molecular chirality, synthesized by covalently linking an achiral bent-core unit with a bulky pro-mesogenic rodlike chiral entity through a flexible spacer, display amorphous blue phase, smectic phases, and new sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of Highly Luminescent Supramolecular Architectures Possessing Columnar Order from Octupolar Oxadiazole Derivatives: Hierarchical Self‐Assembly from Nanospheres to Fibrous Gels
Shinto Varghese,Nambalan S. Saleesh Kumar,Anjali Krishna,Doddamane S. Shankar Rao,Subbarao Krishna Prasad,Suresh Das +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the columnar mesophases of octupolar oxadiazole derivatives were formed at elevated temperatures which transformed into a glassy state at ambient temperatures wherein the column-order was retained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Assembly of C3h and Cs Symmetric Keto-enamine Forms of Tris(N-salicyl-ideneanilines) into Columnar Phases: A New Family of Discotic Liquid Crystals
Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad,Ammathnadu S. Achalkumar,Doddamane S. Shankar Rao,Subbarao Krishna Prasad +3 more
TL;DR: A new class of discotic liquid crystals derived from tris(N-salicylideneanilines) existing exclusively in their C3h and Cs keto-enamine tautomeric forms is reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel family of salicylaldimine-based five-ring symmetric and non-symmetric banana-shaped mesogens derived from laterally substituted resorcinol: synthesis and characterization
Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad,Manoj Mathews,S. Anitha Nagamani,Doddamane S. Shankar Rao,Subbarao Krishna Prasad,Sonja Findeisen,Wolfgang Weissflog +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase behavior of several robust five-ring banana-shaped compounds has been investigated and compared with the corresponding compounds without the lateral substituents, showing a critical dependence on the nature and position of the substituent(s).
