This research uncovers how terminal chain topology governs the self-assembly of liquid crystalline phases in polycatenars, indicating potential applications.
Photoswitchable carbosilane-based polycatenars combine nematic, tilted smectic, hexatic, and double-gyroid cubic phases, revealing how terminal chain topology controls self-assembly.
