✦ Synopsis

organization of 1 into a liquid-crystalline phase is that it allows the unprecedented control of the molecular orientation of 1 in thin solid films. Induced orientation of the liquidcrystalline domains of 1 under a shearing force results in highly anisotropically ordered thin solid films that serve as dichroic polarizers of light at long wavelengths (greater than 600 nm). Future work will investigate the fluorescence, semiconducting, and photoconducting properties of 1.
