Abstract: A novel bisphenylsulfone-based molecule consisting of bisphenylsulfone core with two flexible cholesteric arms and carbonate links have been synthesized via one step esterification reaction.The compound can form gel in 1,4 - dioxane solvent and the gel has thermal stimulus response.This compound shows the maximum absorption peaks at 244nm and 248nm in solution and in xerogel respectively.The red shift of the maximum absorption peak in the gel state suggests the formation of a J-type parallel stacking in the gel state.
