Dibenzo[a,c]phenazine dimers with the following features: (i) short spacer, (ii) peripheral chains shorter and longer than the spacers, and (iii) reduced symmetrical structure of the disc were synthesized. The dibenzo[a,c]phenazine disc has enforced the self-assembly of discotic dimers connected through six methylene spacers to form mesophases through a folded conformation in the mesophase. An X-ray diffraction study pinpoints the preferential intra-molecular bridging conformation of these dimers at the mesophase. These new discotic dimers showed polymesomorphism and glass formation. Interestingly, these discotic dimers form organogels with non-polar hydrocarbon solvents and long chain aliphatic alcohols. A superstructure arising from association of the nanofibers was observed with transmission electron microscopy.
具有以下特征的二苯并[a,c]菲嗪二聚体被合成出来:(i) 短间隔基,(ii) 周边链比间隔基短和长,(iii) 碟片对称结构减少。二苯并[a,c]菲嗪碟片通过六个亚甲基间隔基连接,强化了碟状二聚体的自组装,形成通过折叠构象形成的介相。X射线衍射研究确定了这些二聚体在介相中的优先分子内桥接构象。这些新的碟状二聚体显示出高分子多形性和玻璃化形成特性。有趣的是,这些碟状二聚体能够与非极性烃类溶剂和长链脂肪醇形成有机凝胶。透射电子显微镜观察到了由纳米纤维聚集形成的超结构。
