Abstract
The synthesis of a novel series of copolymers containing push−pull bisazobenzene (BAz) and monoazobenzene (MAz) groups with various N -alkyl donor groups and with spacers of two and four methylene units is presented, and the effects of the structural variables on the mesomorphic properties of the polymers are investigated. The copolymer with very short spacer ( n = 2) and bulky N -ethyl group exhibits liquid crystalline (LC) properties when the BAz content is at least 30 mol %. Replacing the N -ethyl group with N -methyl increases the tendency toward smectic mesomorphism and expands the mesophases stability. If the flexible spacer is extended to four methylene units, the glass transition temperature ( T g ) decreases strongly, whereas the isotropization temperature ( T i ) is only slightly affected. X-ray diffraction investigations reveal an orthogonal partial bilayer smectic phase in which the mesogens are interdigitated. Annealing the BAz polymer films above T g brings about the out-of-plane (homeotropic) orientation of chromophores and the formation of H-aggregates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
