The development of nanoparticles covered with organic functional groups has recently become a hot topic in liquid crystal (LC) nanoscience.[1] It is known that the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed into low molecular mass LCs can result in a striking difference in the optical and electro-optical behaviour of such systems.[2] To enhance our understanding of the unique interactions between LCs and nanoscale materials, we have extended this research to the unique class of bent-core LCs. Bent-core LCs can demonstrate either antiferro- or ferroelectric properties,[3] and hence bent-core LC decorated NPs may have a significant impact on the electro-optical response of LCs used in displays. We report the first synthesis of thiol-terminated bent-core LC compounds, as well as NPs decorated with thiol-terminated bent-cores. This presentation will highlight the successful syntheses of mono- and di-substituted alkyl, alkene, thiol, halogen, thioacetate, and xanthogenate bent-core LC derivatives.
