Synthesis, Self-Assembly, and Switching of One-Dimensional Nanostructures from New Crowded Aromatics
摘要:
This study outlines a versatile and expeditious synthesis of the first derivatives of a new class of benzene that is substituted with both three amide and three alkyne substituents. Sparsely covered monolayer films, made through spin-casting, reveal one-dimensional nanostructures that can be visualized with atomic force microscopy. In bulk, synchrotron X-ray diffraction and polarized light microscopy show that these nanostructured columns assemble further into a two-dimensional liquid crystalline phase. The birefringence of this phase can be switched by application of an electric field. The half-time for the liquid crystalline phase to switch is very fast and proportional to the applied voltage.

Metal hopping: Various alkynylstannanes were synthesized by the directreaction of Bu3SnOMe with terminalalkynes at room temperature in the presence of a ZnBr2 catalyst. Rather than acting as a Lewis acid, ZnBr2 was transmetalated with Bu3SnOMe to give Zn(OMe)2, which is key to the catalytic reaction.
