Materials study demonstrates luminescent liquid crystal behavior in unsymmetrical boron difluoride adducts, suggesting utility for optoelectronic devices.
A strategic design based on the use of asymmetrically 1,3-alkyloxyphenyl substituted β-diketonate ligands towards the BF2 group allowed us to find unsymmetrical compounds that, in addition to a high photoluminescent quantum yield, possess a liquid crystal behaviour, which is related to the presence of the banana-shaped liquid crystal mesophases B1.
