TL;DR: A critical selection of illustrative materials that contain the CS motif, including relevant subfamilies such as the dicyanodistyrylbenzene and 2,3,3-triphenylacrylonitrile shows how a variety of properties, effects, and possibilities for practical applications can be offered to the scientific community, through different rational routes for the elaboration of advanced materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, multiresponsive luminescent materials with dicyanodistyryrylbenzene chromophores incorporated into bent-core and rod-like molecules have been prepared and characterized.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of novel compounds that incorporate the high current interest functional cyanostilbene unit are reported, and four examples, derived from 3,4′-biphenylene, have a 2D molecular shape that promotes a variety of bent-core liquid crystalline phases (columnar, polar smectic C, and dark-conglomerate phases).

TL;DR: A new design strategy based on core-twisted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon as rigid nodes that give rise to a two-dimensional covalent organic framework with a wavy honeycomb (chairlike) lattice that allows a full 3D analysis by transmission electron microscopy revealing its chairlike honeycomb facets and aligned mesoporous channels.

TL;DR: The ability to design and synthesize monomers can affect fundamental aspects in 2D covalent organic frameworks, such as dimensionality, topology, and pore size, which provide an additional means to influence crystallinity, layer arrangement, interlayer distances, and exfoliability.
