A novel liquid-crystalline (LC) gold(I) complex (Biph6) having biphenyl acetylene ligand was designed and synthesized, and its LC behavior and photoluminescence properties were compared with those of a previously reported gold complex (Ph6) with phenyl acetylene ligand. Biph6 exhibited an enantiotropic nematic phase in a temperature range wider than that of Ph6. Ph6 and Biph6 showed intense photoluminescence with different colors in the crystalline phase: blue and yellowish green luminescence, respectively. We demonstrated that the color of luminescence of the gold complexes could be changed by changing the structure of the molecules and molecular aggregates.
We synthesized novel liquid crystalline molecules that contain a bis(biphenyl)diacetylene mesogen and confirmed their structures by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. These compounds formed thermotropic liquid crystals in a wide temperature region that was well characterized by optical microscopic and X-ray measurements.
