Self-assembly of liquid-crystalline polyamide complexes through the formation of double hydrogen bonds between a 2,6-bis(amino)pyridine moiety and benzoic acids
Supramolecular liquid-crystalline polymeric complexes derived from polyamides containing 2,6-bis(amino)pyridyl units in their main chains and benzoic acid derivatives have been obtained by the formation of intermolecular double hydrogen bonds. The polymeric complexes behave as single liquid-crystalline polymers and exhibit stable and enantiotropic mesophases. The hydrogen-bonded mesogens laterally connected by flexible spacers form a polymeric structure that is not simply classified as a main-chain or a side-chain type.
