Abstract

Halogen bonding is widely adopted in organic synthesis and supramolecular crystal engineering but application of halogen bonding in the design of stimuli-responsive materials is challenging. Here, the authors report a liquid crystalline network that contains dynamic halogen-bond crosslinks and possesses reversible thermo-responsive shape memory behaviour.
