Mesogenic Enaminoketone Ni(II) Complexes of Phenazine and Quinoxaline Derivatives
摘要:
The new Ni(II) metallomesogenes were synthesized. Their mesogenic cores are constructed from tetradental enaminoketone unit connected to 1,2: 3,4-di(4,5-dioctyloxybenzo) phenazine or 2,3-di(3,4-dioctyloxyphenylo) quinoxaline. The described compounds form columnar hexagonal phase (Col(hd)) in very broad temperature range. The high stability of the columnar phase results from presence of a permanent dipol moment in enaminoketone moieties created by strong electron withdrawing properties of carbonyl groups.

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.

New hexaalkoxydibenzo[a,c]phenazines (HDBPs) with six-carbon long chains have been prepared, and their mesogenic behavior investigated. The incorporation of six peripheral alkoxy groups onto the larger, dipolar core bearing nitrogen atoms showed interesting thermal properties. The crystal-to-mesophase transitions for the HDBPs (K–col) are similar to the triphenylenes, but the clearing temperatures (Col–I) are shifted upwards by approx. 60 °C. HDBP therefore possesses stable hexagonal mesophases in a fairly broad temperature range and form homeotropically aligned films.

The effect of hydrogen bonding on the phase behaviour of discotic mesogens was investigated with a series of dibenzophenazine carboxylic acids and their methyl ester analogues. The esters exhibit only columnar hexagonal phases, while the acids form columnar hexagonal, columnar rectangular and nematic mesophases. The acids have much higher transition temperatures and supercool to room temperature while maintaining the liquid crystalline ordering. These differences could be explained by the ability of the acids to form hydrogen-bonded dimers, which may also be regarded as supramolecular elliptically-shaped mesogens.

Two series of dibenzophenazines with their mesogenic cores substituted by indent or bulge peripheral side chains have been synthesized. A good balance between anisotropy and isotropy has been achieved by the tri-functionalized bulge-discogen having a pair of interdigitating alkoxy chains. On cooling, the tri-functionalized bulge-discogen with a low melting temperature and high clearing temperature remains liquid crystalline at room temperature.

Unsymmetrical dibenzophenazine discotic mesogens were prepared via the corresponding tetraalkoxybenzil derivatives. These dibenzophenazines exhibit Colho phases over extremely broad temperature ranges.
