Synthesis and Physico-Chemical Properties for 2-Oxochromen-6-yl 4-(4-Alkoxyphenylazo)benzoates
摘要:
This paper describes the preparation and thermal properties for homologous series of 2-oxochromen-6-yl 4-(4-alkoxyphenylazo)benzoates (compounds 1-n). Compounds 1-n show nematic phase exclusively, where the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperatures are between 293 degrees C for 1-4 and 256 degrees C for 1-8. Interestingly, compound 1-8 exhibits smectic A and re-entrant nematic phases in addition to the nematic one. The smectic A phase are characterized using a small angle X-ray diffraction study, indicating the smectic A phase has a partially bilayer molecular arrangement.

We report, the design, synthesis and mesomorphic properties of six new homologous series of achiral bent-core compounds. In this study, we have investigated the effect of different types of linkage groups and their direction of linking, on the mesomorphic properties of azo functionalized compounds. The molecular structures of these newly synthesized compounds are characterized by spectroscopic methods. The liquid crystalline properties are studied using polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and electro-optical studies. We observed a variety of mesophases in these compounds, viz. N, B1, B2, SmA, SmAdPAetc. From our investigations, we found that the type and the direction of the linkage group affects the thermal range or even sometimes the nature of the mesophase itself. We have also carried out photo-induced studies on the B2 mesophase of some of the selected compounds and found that the reversal in the direction of linkage groups does affect the photochromic properties of the compounds.
The paper presents the synthesis and mesomorphicbehavior of two new series of bent core liquid crystalline compounds based on a 1,3-dihyd- roxybezene core and containing a cholesteryl 6-oxyhexanoate wing. The two series were obtained by esterification of the cholesteryl 6-(3-hydroxyphe- noxy)hexanoate core with some 4-(4-(n-alkyloxy)phenyl)azo}benzoic acids (n-alkyl = n-hexyl - n-dodecyl) or 4-
Switching Chirophilic Self‐assembly: From

‐structures to Conglomerates in Liquid and Liquid Crystalline Network Phases of Achiral Polycatenar Compounds
The change of the interhelical self-assembly from enantiophilic to enantiophobic takes place by reduction of the alkyl chain length and leads to a phase transition from the achiral double gyroid via a tetragonal phase to a chiral triple networkphase, associated with a transition from an achiral to a mirror symmetry broken liquid.
This article presents a homologous series of bent-core molecules consisting of a 4-chlororesorcinol as a central unit and 4-[(4-alkyloxyphenyl)diazenyl]benzoic acids as wings. With the use of polarizing optical microscopy (POM), thermal analysis (TOA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) the mesogenic properties were detected. Furthermore, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were also performed for selected samples. Compounds of the above mentioned series form nematic, B-6, and smectic C mesophases. An interesting phenomenon in the solid phase polymorphism was observed in some cases. In our experiment one crystalline form (CrI) melts to nematic phase while the second form (CrII)melts at higher temperature directly to isotropic phase. The solid state modification determines whether a monotropic and an enantiotropic mesophase is observed. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Hockey Stick Liquid Crystals Based on a 2,5-Asymmetric Disubstituted [1,3,4]Oxadiazole Core
The article describes the liquid-crystalline properties of some 2,5-asymmetric disubstituted [1,3,4]oxadiazole derivatives containing an azo and an ester linkage obtained through esterification of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-[1,3,4]oxadiazole with a series of 4-(4-alkoxyphenyl)-benzoic acids containing 6-10 and 18 aliphatic carbon atoms. All reported compounds present liquid-crystalline properties, evidenced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM), with nematic and smectic C type structures, with very large range of stability of mesophases (between 130 degrees C and 198 degrees C on heating and 134 degrees C and 214 degrees C on cooling).
