In previous research, we have found that the incorporation of three lateral substituents on bent-core oxadiazole-based liquid crystals has allowed for the presence of a nematic phase that supercooled to room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studi

We have previously demonstrated that the incorporation of lateral methyl groups on oxadiazole-based liquid crystals leads to relatively low-temperature cybotactic nematic phases which, in some cases, supercool to room temperature. We report here the

Recently we have reported the first X-ray diffraction evidence of biaxial order in the fluid cybotactic nematic phase of a pair of trimethylated bent-core mesogens. This evidence is based on the splitting of the wide-angle diffuse scattering in the p

In 2004 two reports of biaxiality in the nematic (N) phase of an oxadiazole-based bent-core mesogen (BCM) drew the attention of the scientific community to the unique freatures of bent-core nematics. Although a number of contradictory results have su

The possibility of biaxial orientational order in nematic liquid crystals is a subject of intense current interest. We explore the tendencies toward local and global biaxial ordering in the recently synthesized trimethylated oxadiazole-based bent-cor

A series of diphenylacetylene derivatives were synthesized to serve as ligands for metal alkyne complexes. The target compounds, alkyl 4′-(4-phenylethynylbenzoyloxy)-biphenyl-4-carboxylates, were prepared using a three-step synthetic procedure. Bot

Nonlinear optical response of the cybotactic nematic phase of a bent-core mesogen has been investigated for the first time through self-phase modulation induced by a Gaussian beam. The material exhibits a high nonlinear response achieving a nonlinear

As part of our efforts to access the biaxial nematic phase at low temperatures, we prepared a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-based bent-core mesogens that possess either one or three lateral methyl groups. The phase behavior of these derivatives was char

A series of new liquid crystalline compounds based on the 2,5-bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (ODBP) core was synthesized in an effort to access the biaxial nematic phase at low temperatures. Derivatives with secondary terminal alkoxy groups a
