Aminocyclopropenium ions have raised much attention as organocatalysts and redox active polymers. However, the self-assembly of amphiphilic aminocyclopropenium ions remains challenging. The first deltic ionic liquid crystals based on aminocyclopropenium ions have been developed. Differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction provided insight into the unique self-assembly and nanosegregation of these liquid crystals. While the combination of small headgroups with linear p-alkoxyphenyl units led to bilayer-type smectic mesophases, wedge-shaped units resulted in columnar mesophases. Upon increasing the size and polyphilicity of the aminocyclopropenium headgroup, a lamellar phase was formed.
氨基环丙烯鎓离子作为有机催化剂和氧化还原活性聚合物备受关注。然而，两亲性氨基环丙烯鎓离子的自组装仍然具有挑战性。基于氨基环丙烯鎓离子的首个三角离子液晶已被开发出来。差示扫描量热法、偏光显微镜和X射线衍射为这些液晶独特的自组装和纳米相分离提供了深入见解。虽然小的头基与线性对烷氧基苯基单元的组合导致了双层型近晶相，楔形单元则产生了柱状相。随着氨基环丙烯鎓头基尺寸和多亲性的增加，形成了层状相。
