Abstract
A ferrocene-contg. carbohydrate surfactant has been synthesized and shown by polarized optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and x-ray diffraction to exhibit both thermotropic and lyotropic liq.-cryst. phase behavior. This new class of materials should prove useful for the design of redox-active lyotropic liq. crystals, allowing fine electrochem. control of the phase structure and symmetry. [on SciFinder(R)]
