51. The optical micrograph can be distorted by pressing the cover slips, at lower temperature, however, in the mesophase the compounds are highly viscous.
52. A diffuse halo at 4.4 nm in the wide angle section corresponds to the distance of the flexible alkyl side chains.

59. It should be kept in mind that all the tetraphenylethenes reported in this work possess a twisted structure as the unsubstituted parent compound due to overlapping ortho hydrogen atoms.
