Structure–property relationships of quinoxaline-based liquid crystals
Vinod Kumar Vishwakarma, Ammathnadu S. Achalkumar
Abstract
Quinoxaline derivatives with different molecular structures stabilizing liquid crystalline self-assembly are discussed in this review. This class of molecules can be systematically modified with careful molecular engineering to achieve different molecular shapes, directing them to self-assemble into various types of mesophases. The structure-property relationships of such molecules and the resultant self-assembled functional structures are of utmost importance in organic electronic devices and related applications.
