Synthesis and photoswitching properties of some cholesterol based liquid crystals

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250008025238

The synthesis and photoswitching properties of some azobenzene linked cholesterol derivatives (3a-d and 5a,b) have been described. Thermal properties of these compounds were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microsc
