Congrats to Brandon & Kai on their new paper in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social where they show how azobenzene/triptycene-based chiral dopants tune the photophysical properties of liquid crystals. In addition to the structure property insight 1/2

Chiral, photoswitchable dopants composed of triptycene and azobenzene exhibit exceptionally large helical twisting powers that change dramatically upon isomerization when incorporated into the liquid...
