Bent-shaped mesogens possessing a biphenyl as a central core have been synthesized and the role of the terminal chain and the orientation of the ester as a linkage group have been investigated. For the studied molecular core we have established that both parameters play an important role for the mesomorphic properties. The polyfluoroalkyl terminal chain supports the formation of mesophases, and the introduction of a chiral lactate terminal chain destabilizes mesophases for the first type of mutual orientation of ester groups, attached to the central core. On the contrary, for the opposite orientation of esters, the terminal chain has no effect on the mesomorphic properties, and columnar phases have been found for all compounds. A unique phase sequence has been found for the mesogen with the fluorinated chain. A generalized tilted smectics, SmCG, have been observed in a temperature interval between two different lamellar SmCP phases and characterized by X-ray and dielectric measurements. The dielectric spectroscopy data are unique and presented for the first time in the SmCG phase providing new information about the molecular dynamics.
具有联苯作为中心核心的弯曲形态基团已被合成,并研究了末端链和酯作为连接基团的取向。针对所研究的分子核心,我们已经确定这两个参数对向列相性质起重要作用。多氟烷基末端链支持向列相的形成,而手性乳酸酯末端链的引入破坏了第一种酯基相互取向方式附着在中心核心上的向列相。相反,对于酯基的相反取向,末端链对向列相性质没有影响,并且所有化合物都发现了柱状相。对于具有氟化链的基团,发现了独特的相序列。在两种不同的层状SmCP相之间的温度区间内观察到了广义倾斜液晶相SmCG,并通过X射线和介电测量进行了表征。介电谱数据是独特的,并首次在SmCG相中提供了关于分子动力学的新信息。
