The materials include two different dicationic viologens, the asymmetric 6BP18 and the symmetric EV2ON(Tf)2, containing bistriflimide as the counterions, mixed with 5% and 50% molar, respectively, of one new photoresponsive mesogen called CNAzO14. These mixtures exhibit liquid crystal behaviour, light responsiveness through the E-Z photoisomerisation of the azobenzene groups in CNAzO14, and strong dielectric responses. The 5%-CNAzO14/Ev2ON(Tf)2 mixture displays direct current conductivities in the 10−7 S·cm−1 range, which can be increased by a two-fold factor upon the irradiation of UV light at 365 nm. Our findings set the grounds for designing new smart ionic soft materials with nanostructures that can be tuned and used for energy conversion and storage applications. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E47-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/PID2021-122882NB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 4.6 2024 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 76 / 239 = 0.318 2024 Q2 T1 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 82 / 320 = 0.256 2024 Q2 T1 0.865 2024 Pharmaceutical Science 2024 Q1 Organic Chemistry 2024 Q1 Analytical Chemistry 2024 Q1 Physical and Theoretical Chemistry 2024 Q1 Chemistry (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Molecular Medicine 2024 Q2 Drug Discovery 2024 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 8.6 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bhowmik, Pradip K.
