Formation of a Double Diamond Cubic Phase by Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Self‐Assembly of Bundled Bolaamphiphiles

A quaternary amphiphile with swallow‐tail side groups displays a new bicontinuous thermotropic cubic phase with symmetry Pn [Formula: see text] m and formed by two interpenetrating networks where cylindrical segments are linked by H bonds at tetrahedral junctions. Each network segment contains two b...

description A quaternary amphiphile with swallow‐tail side groups displays a new bicontinuous thermotropic cubic phase with symmetry Pn [Formula: see text] m and formed by two interpenetrating networks where cylindrical segments are linked by H bonds at tetrahedral junctions. Each network segment contains two bundles, each containing 12 rod‐like mesogens, lying along the segment axis. This assembly leads to the first thermotropic structure of the “double diamond” type. A quantitative geometric model is proposed to explain the occurrence of this rare phase.
