power into the racemic Schiff base mesogen possessing ester linkage. Cubic BPI and BPII can be confirmed by reflectance spectra and POM. The results of reflectance spectra indicate that the binary mixture composed of salicylaldimine-based mesogens and S811 easily exhibits a supercooling effect and induces BPI. However, only BPII can be observed in all binary mixtures containing Schiff base mesogens. On
合成了四个具有不同烷基链和两种键(酯键和炔基键)的棒状外消旋席夫碱介晶,并将其应用于简单的二元混合体系中诱导立方蓝相(BPs)。这些席夫碱介晶的中间相通过变温X射线衍射和偏光显微镜(POM)的特征织构得到确认。通常,当将手性添加剂4-(4-己氧基苯甲酰氧基)苯甲酸S-(+)-2-辛基酯(S811; 20-40 wt%)添加到棒状外消旋水杨醛亚胺基介晶中时,可以观察到立方BP。它的温度范围大于20K。在由具有炔基键和35-40 wt%S811的棒状外消旋水杨基亚二胺基液晶元OH-TIn组成的混合混合物中,可以观察到立方BP的最宽温度范围(35 K)。然而,当添加等量的手性掺杂剂时,具有炔基键的席夫碱液晶元显示出直接的各向同性向手性向列相变。值得注意的是,在将40.0 wt%S811添加到具有末端烷基链和酯键的水杨醛亚胺基介晶中之后,BP的终止温度非常接近室温(约35°C)。有趣的是,还可以通过添加手性添加剂1
