Linear and H-shaped chiral dimers for applications in photonic liquid crystals
The Optical Kerr effect in blue phases has recently been shown to be of practical use in fast switching display devices. This mode provides a linear response with respect to an applied electric field and thus grey-scale is possible. Fast responses are of prime interest in advanced display …

Synthesis and characterisation of Acylhydrazinatometallomesogens
… and later characterised spectroscopically. The effects of structural change on mesophase character was deternthed by polarising microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The structural alterations were, varying the alkoxy chain length of known acylhydrazinato-metallomesogens to give odd …

Synthesis and application of ionic molecular and polymeric materials
… alkyl backbone length showed an intriguing odd-even effect. The mechanism was revealed by inelastic neutron scattering as different dynamics of odd- and even-numbered cations in liquid state. Structurally, thanks to the nano-segregation, the network-forming ionic liquid proved to be an …

Development of porphyrin tweezer system for determining absolute configuration of chiral molecules via ECCD
… 7,8- substituted) epoxy alcohols, a striking odd-even effect was discovered. Chapter V centers on the chirality assignment of chiral 1,n-glycols with long alkyl chains which are also very tough molecules for chirality analysis using conventional methods. Chapter VI illustrates the natural …

Molecular design of precise ionic polymer networks for fundamental structure-property-relationships and energy-related applications
… ammonium nIPs is varied precisely, we observe an odd-even effect in the Tg; specifically, the Tgs follow a zig-zag trend as the linker switches between odd and even linker lengths. This effect causes the room temperature conductivity of these nIPs to vary by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. The second …

Critical size for bulk-to-discrete transition and segment-induced size effect melting of 2D aliphatic layers
… of AgSCn chain melting (Tm). Three unique effects of size-dependent properties are discovered. Short-chain effect melting occurs when chain length is decreased to a critical size (ncr=7), below which Tm of AgSCn deviates from that predicted by the classical Gibbs-Thomson model by as large …

Cytochrome P450 whole cell biohydroxylation of alkanes
… to produce valuable long chain alcohols. Effective use, or resource efficiency, with respect to alkanes is important in sustainable processing. Alkanes contain unreactive hydrocarbon bonds and cracking processes apply high temperatures and pressures to split these inert molecules into …
