Abstract

Novel discotic liquid crystalline cyclic polymers prepared through RAFT polymerization and intrachain azide–alkyne click cyclization, exhibit fully inhibited or significantly weakened bulk columnar ordering with increased molecular weight or shortened spacer length, while exhibiting remarkably enhanced fluorescence emission in solution as a result of the cyclic topological constraint effect.
