The liquid-crystalline properties of the resulting pillar[5]arene-based rotaxanes bearing 4, 8 and 16 peripheral cyanobiphenyl units have been investigated and compared to those of corresponding model compounds lacking the macrocyclic component.2023http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13170510.1080/02678292.2023.2281632http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/131705oai:zaguan.unizar.es:131705info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E47-23Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/PID2021-122882NB-I00LIQUID CRYSTALS 51, 8-9 (2023), 1322-1332byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
