Templating Crystal Growth at the Nanometer‐Scale with a Monotropic Columnar Mesophase
Source abstract
Abstract
Crystallization from a monotropic columnar mesophase is shown to proceed via one-dimensional growth, in which the growing crystalline phase follows the columnar tracks of the “parent” mesophase (see Figure). Such control over the crystal structure by the mesophase template could pave the way to tailoring crystalline morphologies at the scale of an individual columnar diameter (3–5 nm).

38. A certain extent of orientation of the Colhdmesophase can be inferred from Figure 1G in the temperature interval corresponding to the very end of melting. Since the width of the mesophase peak significantly decreases at these temperatures we suggest that larger and more perfectly ordered domains are being formed. Such domains could partially preserve their orientation upon a short passage in the isotropic melt.
39. Although the studied molecule does not contain any chiral centers the helicity in the crystalline phase is believed to be caused by a slight non‐planarity of the molecular core (out‐of‐plane tilt of the phenyl groups) inducing rotational shift of the neighboring molecules in the column [37].
