Near‐room‐temperature π‐conjugated nematic liquid crystals in molecules with a flexible seven‐membered ring structure by Riki Iwai, Hiroyuki Yoshida, Yuki Arakawa, Shunsuke Sasaki, Yuuto Iida, Kazunobu Igawa, Tsuneaki Sakurai, Satoshi Suzuki, Masatoshi Tokita, Junji Watanabe, Gen‐ichi Konishi

“…We attribute this large decrease in the phase transition temperature to large intramolecular conformational entropies that arise from the geometric change of the cyclic structure, which involves rotational motion of single biaryl‐bonds and bending motions along the long molecular axis in the thermal equilibrium state. The practical utility of these NLC molecules is demonstrated by preparing an electric‐field‐responsive large‐area fluorescent switch device with a sub‐millisecond response time from a mixture of 3,8‐bis(4‐alkylphenyl)‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[7]annulenes (DPB[7]‐Cns).…”
