Liquid crystalline macrocyclic azacalix[4]pyridine and its complexes with the zinc ion: conformational change from the saddle to flattened shapeElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c5cc01018g

Substituted with four 3,4,5-tris(alkoxy)benzyl mini-dendrons, azacalix[4]pyridine (1) with the saddle-shaped core is the first liquid crystal (LC) of heteracalixaromatics. Conformational regulation of azacalix[4]pyridine by complexing with the zinc ion leads to a significant change in LC properties....

Description
Summary:Substituted with four 3,4,5-tris(alkoxy)benzyl mini-dendrons, azacalix[4]pyridine (1) with the saddle-shaped core is the first liquid crystal (LC) of heteracalixaromatics. Conformational regulation of azacalix[4]pyridine by complexing with the zinc ion leads to a significant change in LC properties. Regulation of phase behaviors by macrocyclic conformational variation.
