| Research Abstract |
The scope of this study is to develop discotic liquid-crystalline materials, those have capability to switch their phases between liquid crystal and isotropic (liquid) upon irradiation of light. Liquid-crystalline macrocyclic azobenzenes bearing alkoxy side chains, exhibit isothermal phase transitions from liquid-crystal to isotropic as well as from crystal to isotropic phases upon light irradiation due to the drastic conformational change of their macrocyclic backbone.
