    abstract = "A novel sulfur-based platelet derivative was synthesized by reacting elemental sulfur with oleyl amine. The sulfur-oleyl amine (S-OA) derivative has an ionic salt form, layered morphology and forms a highly lamellar structure. Polarized optical microscopy (POM) clearly shows the birefringent lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior of the S-OA platelets dispersions. © The Royal Society of Chemistry."
