The liquid crystalline state is unique because it combines molecular order and dynamicproperties.Nematicliquidcrystalshavebeenwidelyusedindisplay devicesbecauseoftheiranisotropicnatureandresponsivenesstoelectricfields. Generally,nematicliquidcrystalsconsistofrod-likemoleculesandtheyform no nano-segregated structures. Recently, intensive studies have focused on liquidcrystalsformingnano-segregatedstructuressuchassmectic,columnar, andcubicphasestodevelopnewfunctionalmaterials. Thesenanostructured liquid crystals are expected to show enhanced or anisotropic properties in the following applications: electrooptics, photonics, transportation of elec- trons, ions, or molecules, sensory, catalysis, and bioactivity properties. To inducethesefunctionsinnanostructuredliquidcrystals,controlofthenano- segregatedstructuresofthemolecularassembliesaswellasthedesignofthe structureofeachmoleculeisofgreatimportance. Anumberoffundamentalaspectsofliquidcrystalswerepresentedinvol- umes 94 and 95 of Structure and Bonding, published in 1999 and edited by Prof.Mingos.The present volume reflectsrecent aspects inthe development offunctionalliquidcrystalswhichformnano-segregatedstructures.Theedi- torhasintendedtoprovidereaderswiththemostup-to-dateinformationon the design of liquid crystalline materials. In conventional liquid crystalline compounds, the shapes of the mesogens were basically rod-like or disk-like molecules with covalent bonds. On the basis of their molecular weights, the materialswereclassifiedsimplyintolowmolecularweightliquidcrystalsand polymerliquidcrystals.Thepolymerliquidcrystalswerecategorizedasmain- chainandside-chaintypes.Thedesignofnewmoleculararchitecturesbased onliquidcrystalsinvolvesthesynthesesofpolymerswithwell-definedstruc- tures such as dendrimers and molecules with block structures. Moreover, supramolecular architectures based on liquid crystals have been intensively studied.Supramolecularliquidcrystalsformwell-definedstructuresthrough non-covalent bonding including hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions. Thepresentvolumecoversthesenewaspectsofdesignandfunctionalization ofliquidcrystals. InChapter1,SaezandGoodbydescribeunconventionalliquidcrystalshav- ing“supermolecular”structuresthataremorecomplexthanthoseofconven- X Preface tional liquid crystals. They focus on dendritic liquid crystals with monodis- persed and discrete molecular structures. These materials can incorporate functionalmoieties intheself-organizedstates. InChapter 2,Lee reportson the self-assembly of rod–coil molecules consisting of a rod-like mesogenic partandflexiblecoils.Theyhaveblockstructuresinducingavarietyofliquid crystallinephasesthatformthenano-segregatedstructures. Chirality is also an important aspect of liquid crystals. The introduction of chiral moieties into the chiral smectic phases induces functions such as ferroelectricity and antiferroelectricity. A few of the unconventional chiral liquidcrystalsaredescribedinChapter1.Thebluephaseisoneoftheexotic chiral liquid crystalline phases. In Chapter 3, Kikuchi introduces the basic aspectsandrecentprogressinresearchofthebluephase.Recently,thematerials exhibitingthebluephaseshaveattractedattentionbecausesignificantphotonic andelectro-opticfunctionsareexpectedfromthematerials. In Chapters 1, 2, and 3 unconventional liquid crystalline molecules with complex structures based on covalent bonding are described. In Chapter 4, Rowan and Mather demonstrate that non-covalent bonding such as hydro- gen bondsmay be used for thedesign and construction ofliquid crystalline materials. Polymericmaterialshaveadvantagesbecauseoftheirstabilityandstructure- formingproperties.Electron-andion-activeorganicpolymericmaterialshave attractedattentionfornewdevices. InChapter 5,Katoandco-workersfocus on polymeric liquid crystalline materials that are used for the development of functional materials transporting ions and electrons. The nanostructures such as smectic and columnar phases exhibited by side-chain, main-chain, dendritic,andnetworkpolymersmayexhibitone-andtwo-dimensionaltrans- portationproperties. Thermotropic liquid crystals and also lyotropic liquid crystals generate functional molecular assemblies. Lyotropic liquid crystalline phases are ex- hibited by amphiphilic molecules in appropriate solvents. They form nano- segregatedstructuresbecausethemolecularstructuresconsistofhydrophilic andhydrophobiccomponents.InChapter6,Ginandco-workersdescribehow lyotropicliquid crystalsmaybeused toformfunctionalmaterials. Lyotropic liquid crystals can act as templates for inorganic materials, ion conductors, catalysts,drugdeliverysystems,andnanofilters.
