A series of new liquid crystalline compounds based on the 2,5-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (ODBP) core was synthesized in an effort to access the biaxial nematic phase at low temperatures. Derivatives with secondary terminal alkoxy groups and derivatives with either two or four lateral methyl groups were prepared. Secondary alkoxy terminal groups either suppressed mesophase formation altogether or increased the nematic onset temperature relative to primary groups. The dimethylated derivatives showed significant reductions in the nematic onset temperatures compared to the previously reported unmethylated compounds. The tetramethylated analogs generally possessed low clearing temperatures, but exhibited only monotropic mesomorphism.
As part of our efforts to access the biaxial nematic phase at low temperatures, we prepared a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-based bent-core mesogens that possess either one or three lateral methyl groups. The phase behavior of these derivatives was characterized using polarizing microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Target compounds containing one methyl group showed large nematic ranges but relatively high clearing points. The derivatives with three methyl substituents showed lower nematic onset temperatures and two of these compounds supercooled in the nematic phase to room temperature. X-ray diffraction experiments confirmed the presence of cybotactic clusters in the nematic phase, as observed in other bent-core mesogens. However, for two of these derivatives, cybotaxis persists at room temperature, due to the formation of a glassy nematic phase at low temperatures. These results suggest that these materials could be promising candidates in the search for low temperature biaxial thermotropic nematics.
作为我们在低温下获得双轴向列相的努力的一部分,我们制备了一系列具有一个或三个侧甲基的1,3,4-恶二唑基弯曲核介晶。使用偏光显微镜和差示扫描量热法表征这些衍生物的相行为。含有一个甲基的目标化合物显示出较大的向列范围,但清亮点相对较高。具有三个甲基取代基的衍生物表现出较低的向列相起始温度,并且其中两种化合物在向列相中过冷至室温。 X 射线衍射实验证实了向列相中存在胞规簇,正如在其他弯曲核介晶中观察到的那样。然而,对于其中两种衍生物,由于在低温下形成玻璃态向列相,细胞趋向性在室温下持续存在。这些结果表明这些材料可能是寻找低温双轴热致向列相的有希望的候选材料。

This paper describes the synthesis and phase behavior of new oxazole containing liquid crystals. These compounds are related to oxadiazole derivatives which show a cybotactic nematic phase. The compounds described here possess a lateral bromo or chloro substituent and, in some cases, lateral methyl groups as well. Derivatives without lateral methyl groups exhibit enantiotropic behavior, while derivatives with lateral methyl groups show only monotropic behavior. However, several of the latter compounds supercool to room temperature in the nematic phase. In addition, the nematic phase of these derivatives retain fluidity to much lower temperatures than was observed for the oxadiazole analogs.
