Javelin-, Hockey Stick-, and Boomerang-Shaped Liquid Crystals. Structural Variations on p-Quinquephenyl
摘要:
The ramifications of changing molecular geometry in a series of all-aromatic liquid crystals derived from p-quinquephenyl are reported. Substituting heterocyclic rings such as thiophene, oxadiazole, oxazole, or 1,3-phenylene into the p-quinquephenylene core affects molecular shape changes via the substituent's exocyclic bond angle. In general, we found that introducing nonlinearity into molecules depresses the melting transition temperature. The symmetric (boomerang-shaped) molecules, 2,5-bisbiphenyl-4-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 2,5-bisbiphenyl-4-yl-oxazole, and 1,3-bisbiphenyl-4-yl-benzene, melt into isotropic phases showing small monotropic mesophases. By contrast, the asymmetric (hockey stick-shaped) mesogens, 2-terphenyl-4-yl-5-phenyl thiophene and 2-terphenyl-4-yl-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole, exhibit more stable enantiotropic liquid crystalline phases. The hockey stick-shaped mesogens exhibit a smectic phase as well as a nematic phase. High-temperature X-ray determination of the smectic layer spacing gives an unambiguous picture of interdigitated, bilayerlike supramolecular architecture in the smectic phase. There are associated changes in the mesogen's electrostatic profile when a heterocycle is introduced into the quinquiphenylene framework (e.g., conjugation is perturbed). Our findings suggest that steric packing considerations dominate the phase preferences (nematic versus smectic phases), However, electronic considerations (conjugation) appear to control the range of mesomorphism in this new family of nonlinear liquid crystals.

A variety of oxazoles can efficiently be prepared, in a single step and in good yield, from primaryamides and 1,2-dihaloalkenes using copper-catalysis. This new method allows the re-gioselective formation of a range of substituted oxazoles. The required 1,2-dihaloalkenes can prepared by simple treatment of alkynes with elemental bromine or iodine.
Spectral and time-resolved fluorescence properties as well as relative fluorescence quantum yields of carbodiimide derivatives of 2.5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) (prepared by H2S elimination from the corresponding thioureas), of some intermediates in the preparation, and of several other PPO derivatives were investigated in solution and in the solid state to test their suitability as solid scintillators

The reaction proceeds in series, giving rise to the formation of an intermolecular C–N bond and an intramolecular C–O bond, which yield oxazole derivatives simultaneously. The reaction gave the desired products from readily available substrates under mild conditions.

A nonmetal-catalyzed oxidative cyclization to achieve 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles from inexpensive and readily available substituted chalcone, (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PIDA) and ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) at room temperature is described. The reaction forms a variety of 2,5-diaryloxazoles in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope under mild conditions without the requirement of ligands and
