  • Title: Intrinsically Chiral Twist-Bend Nematogens: Interplay of Molecular and Structural Chirality in the NTB Phase.
    Author: Walker R, Pociecha D, Salamonczyk M, Storey JMD, Gorecka E, Imrie CT.
    Journal: Chemphyschem; 2023 Mar 14; 24(6):e202300105. PubMed ID: 36916801.
    Abstract:
    The front cover artwork is provided by Dr Rebecca Walker of the Liquid Crystals Group at the University of Aberdeen. The image is a cartoon depiction of the formation of the heliconical chiral twist-bend nematic phase (N*TB ) from its constituent bent molecules. The presence of a single enantiomer of the chiral, lactate-based liquid crystal dimers biases the formation of helices with only one handedness, unlike in the conventional NTB phase, observed for achiral molecules, for which the left- and right-handed helices are doubly degenerate.
