Traditionally, liquid-crystal (LC) polymers have been classified as main-chain or side-chain types. 1-2 In an attempt to better account for the variety in these materials, which now include examples which cannot be classified as strictly side-chain or main-chain, Brostow3 has proposed a classification scheme based on different architectural arrangements of the structural subunits forming the LC polymer. Twenty classes have been identified. It is striking that in all cases the structural subunits are connected by covalent bonds. We would like to suggest that the variety in LC polymers can be considerably ex-tended through the use of noncovalent bonds of various types. These noncovalent bonds can be formed by hydrogen bonding interactions, electrostatic interactions (eg, ion-ion, ion-dipole, charge transfer), and coordination complexes or transition-metal ions. An idealized schematic of this concept, illustrated for ion-ion bonding and for a classical side-chainpolymer architecture, may be shown as follows: 4
