文摘A liquid crystalline carbosilane dendrimer has been synthesized in successive steps, resulting in the formation of defined, unimolecular compound. 12 AZO-meso-units were attached on its periphery and it has a three dimentional, tree-like, starburst structure.Its phase behavior was K64 Sx115 SA123N138I. Compared with its AZO-meso-unit, 4-nitro-4’- (llydroxyhexyl)-azobenzene, whose phase behavior was K122N132I, its phase range was enlarged about 64 ℃ and two more liquid crystalline phases SA Sx were found.
