Gh. Mehl et al., Dendritic and multipodal liquid-crystalline materials based on organic-inorganic hybrid carbosilazane cores, MOLEC CRYST, 364, 2001, pp. 219-224
The synthesis of the first inorganic-organic hybrid liquid crystal dendrime
rs, which exhibit enantiotropic nematic and smectic C phase behaviour is pr
esented and the liquid-crystalline phase properties are discussed.
