TL;DR: In this article, a combination of techniques consisting of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal optical polarized microscopy, and small-and wide-angle X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the thermal stability of the LC phase of compounds with NO2, CN, CO2CH3, CH2OH, CO 2H, and COCH3 substituents in the 4 position of the benzene ring.

TL;DR: The molecular structure-lattice dependence elaborated here will aid the rational design of the three-dimensional shapes from larger generations of supramolecular dendrimers and of their lattices.

TL;DR: In this article, the X-ray pattern for these fibers recorded at room temperature (25°C) contained eight equatorial reflections that are orders predicted for a hexagonal unit cell with a= b= 60.4 A

TL;DR: In this article, a quantum-chemical calculation of the homolytic and heterolytic bond dissociation energies of the model compounds of the monomer and dimer is reported.

TL;DR: These experiments showed that hollow spheres function as supramolecular dendritic capsules and therefore are expected to display functions complementary to those of other related molecular and supramolescular structures.
