D. Terunuma et al., Preparation and characterization of carbosilane dendrimers carrying mesogens with chiral substituent, CHEM LETT, (7), 1999, pp. 565-566
A series of new carbosilane dendrimers carrying a mesogenic group, 5-((+)-2
-fluorooctyloxy) -2-phenylpyrimidine derivative, were prepared successfully
. Although the dendrimers did not show any clear Sc* phases, it was found t
hat all the dendrimers prepared were operative as chiral dopants.
