title: Coexistence of two aggregation modes in exotic liquid-crystalline superstructure: systematic maximum entropy analysis for cubic mesogen, 1,2-bis(4'-n-alkoxybenzoyl)hydrazine [BABH(n)].
abstract: Structure of a complex superstructure self-organized by thermotropic mesogen, 1,2-bis(4'- n-alkoxybenzoyl)hydrazine [BABH(n), where n is the number of carbon atoms in an alkoxy chain] was studied while paying special attention to the structure at the molecular level. Maximum entropy (MEM) analysis revealed that the molecular cores form two kinds of aggregates: Jungle gym with 3-fold junctions roughly on P minimal surface and spherical shells.
