摘要: A novel class of hydrogen-bonded chiral azobenzene switches was developed to induce an optically tunable liquid crystal blue phases (LC-BPs), which leads the stabilization LC-BPs for a wider temperature range and is capable reversible phototuning reflection color BP I over visible wavelength region.
