Synthesis and Mesomorphic Properties of New T- Shaped Dimesogens
摘要:
Several new T- shaped liquid crystalline dimesogenic compounds were synthesized and their LC proper-ties were characterized. These T-shaped dimesogens consist of substituted fluorene and substituted biphenyl units connected by flexible spacer units of varying lengths. The compounds were characterized for their liquid crystallinity by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing microscopy. All the compounds were found to exhibit enantiotropic nematic phase.
AN EFFICIENT, FACILE, AND FAST SYNTHESIS OF 4-ALKOXY-4′-HYDROXYBIPHENYLS
摘要:
A simple, fast and efficient method of synthesis of 4-alkoxy-4'-hydroxybiphenyls has been described. The reactions of 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl with appropriate alkyl halides were carried out over 3 h in DMSO in presence of solid powdered KOH.
This paper presents the synthesis and mesophase properties of several homologous series of structurally related compounds in which the aromatic ring attached to 4′-alkyloxybiphenyl-4-ol was systematically changed. The homologues with achiral and chiral terminal groups were studied. New compounds forming both antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phases were obtained for pyridyl and phenyl derivatives.
Generation of biaxiality in smectic A phases by introduction of intermolecular perfluoroarene–arene and C–H/F interactions, and the non-odd–even effect of the molecules in their transition temperatures and layer distances
Compounds 1aâj, 4-alkoxy-4â²-pentafluorobenzoyloxybiphenyls, were synthesized to investigate the biaxiality in the smectic A phases of rod-like molecules possessing both perfluorinated and non-fluorinated benzene rings. The phase behaviors of the compounds and the molecular packing structures of their smectic A phases were investigated by polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning colorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). As a result, it was found that the plot of the transition temperatures against the number of carbon atoms in the terminal alkyl chains did not show a clear oddâeven effect, and an unique effect âtgg-effectâ was observed in the plots of their layer distances against the number of carbon atoms. In the detailed 1D- and 2D-XRD studies of the smectic A phases, lateral directional orders in each layer were observed. It is assumed that these results originate from the biaxiality of the smectic A phases and slow rotation of the molecules around their molecular long axes.

of simple and rodlike racemic biphenyl mesogens possessing a 2-octyloxy tail and different substituents at the inner-core position of the phenyl ring were easily prepared. The mesophases of these racemic biphenyl mesogens were confirmed by variable-temperature XRD and the characteristic texture of POM. In general, cubic BPs can be induced by adding an appropriate ratio of chiral additive S811 or ISO(6OBA)2
容易制备四个具有2-辛氧基尾和在苯环的内核位置具有不同取代基的简单和棒状外消旋联苯介晶。这些外消旋联苯液晶元的中间相通过可变温度XRD和POM的特征结构得到证实。通常,在加热和冷却过程中,将适当比例的手性添加剂S811或ISO(6OBA)2添加到这些外消旋联苯液晶元中,可以诱发立方BP 。有趣的是,BPIII(5–6 K)在高手性条件下很容易控制由单取代联苯液晶元和手性掺杂剂S811组成的混合混合物。另外,当化合物C 6 OBiPhI-OH与35 wt%S811在冷却过程中混合时,BPIII的形成温度接近室温(36°C)。混合体系中存在的20 K以上的稳定BP由手性掺杂剂ISO(6OBA)2组成,没有取代的联苯液晶元C n OBiPhI-H或二氟取代的C n OBiPhI-FF。值得注意的是,通过在联苯化合物C 6 OBiPhI-H中仅添加10 wt%具有高HTP的手性掺杂剂ISO(6OB

Two crystal forms 1 and 2 were found for the title compound. DSC measurements showed that the two crystals transform to different mesophases (Sm* I and Sm* J). Crystal data. 4′-Heptyloxy-4-biphenylyl p-[(S)-2-methylbutyl]benzoate, 1, Mr=458.61, C31H38O3, monoclinic, P21, T=298 K, a=15.065(3), b=45.59(2), c=5.636(1) Å, β=95.51(2)°, V=4109(2) Å3, Z=6, dx=1.118 Mg m−3, μ=0.475 mm−1, F(000)=1488; 2, triclinic, P1, a=13.37(2), b=22.96(2), c=10.213(5) Å, α=105.55(5), β=105.22(6), γ=102.31(9)°, V=2775(5) Å3, Z=4, dx=1.102 M gm−3. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Final R was 0.109. The crystal has a distinct layer structure similar to that of a smectic liquid crystal. Two of the three crystallographically independent molecules with extended paraffin chains have parallel arrangement, to which the third molecule with a twisted and highly disordered chain is antiparallel. The paraffin chains of the parallel molecules in a layer have close contacts with each other. Such contacts would enhance the intra-layer interaction which causes the transition to Sm* I.
