The properties of liquid-crystalline (LC) hybrid systems made of inorganic nanoparticles grafted with photosensitive azo compounds are presented. For materials with a large density of azo ligands at the surface, the LC structure can be reversibly melted by UV light, and the return to the LC state does not require the absorption of visible light. For systems with a lower density of azo ligands, UV light causes shortening of the distance between metal sublayers in the lamellar phase. Interestingly, the azo derivatives attached to the nanoparticle surface show very different kinetics of cis/trans conformational change as compared to the free molecules. The cis form of free ligands in solution is stable for days, whereas the isomerization of molecules attached to the nanoparticle surface to the trans form takes only a few minutes. Apparently, owing to the crowded environment, azo ligands immobilized at a metal surface behave as they would in the condensed state.

Herein, we reported novel banana liquid crystals derived from ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) central unit encompass with Schiff base. Structural charecterization of these compounds was carried out from their spectral and elemental analysis. Physical properties of all the newly synthesized compounds were investigated by polarising optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. EDOT bearing three-ring Schiff base bent-core compounds are non-mesomorphic but all the Schiff bases containing five-rings exhibit enantiotropic mesophase behaviour. The higher homologues show long range nematic phase along with a smectic C phase at lower temperature. While the lower homologues exhibit only N phase. The bent-angle in these compounds is in between of calamitic LCs and banana LCs; therefore, the molecules escape from the polar order packing observed in typical bent core LCs. Detailed XRD investigation endorses the presence of the N phase in lower homologues and Sm C phase in higher homologues.
