(Figure Presented) It all gels well: Amphiphilic donor-acceptor-substituted butadienes undergo spontaneous concentration-dependent self-assembly into highly fluorescent vesicles and gels. The vesicles and gels exhibit light-induced destruction and self-repair as a result of the photochromic nature of the butadiene chromophore.
Synthesis of New Liquid Crystalline Compounds based on 1,4-Diarylbuta-1,3-dienes

A group of (E,E)-1,4-diarylbuta-1,3-dienes, substituted in the para-position of one aryl ring by an alkoxy-group and in the para-position of the other aryl group by a cyano- or halogeno-group have been synthesised.The compounds are mesogenic and their phy
