Controlled covalent functionalization of graphitic surfaces with molecular scale precision is crucial for tailored modulation of the chemical and physical properties of carbon materials. We herein present that porous self-assembled molecular networks (SAMNs) act as nanometer scale template for the covalent electrochemical functionalization of graphite using an aryldiazonium salt. Hexagonally aligned achiral grafted species with lateral periodicity of 2.3, 2.7, and 3.0 nm were achieved utilizing SAMNs having different pore-to-pore distances. The unit cell vectors of the grafted pattern match those of the SAMN. After the covalent grafting, the template SAMNs can be removed by simple washing with a common organic solvent. We briefly discuss the mechanism of the observed pattern transfer. The unit cell vectors of the grafted pattern align along nonsymmetry axes of graphite, leading to mirror image grafted domains, in accordance with the domain-specific chirality of the template. In the case in which a homochiral building block is used for SAMN formation, one of the 2D mirror image grafted patterns is canceled. This is the first example of a nearly crystalline one-sided or supratopic covalent chemical functionalization. In addition, the positional control imposed by the SAMN renders the functionalized surface (homo)chiral reaching a novel level of control for the functionalization of carbon surfaces, including surface-supported graphene.

The first object of the invention is to provide a liquid crystal compound that is stable to heat, light and so on, and has a large optical anisotropy, a large dielectric anisotropy and a low melting point. The second object is to provide a liquid crystal medium that is stable to heat, light and so on, has a broad temperature range of a liquid crystal phase, a large optical anisotropy and a large dielectric anisotropy, and exhibits an optically isotropic liquid crystal phase. The third object is to provide a variety of optical elements containing the liquid crystal medium, which can be used in a broad temperature range and has a short response time, a high contrast and a low driving voltage. A liquid crystal compound with branched alkyl or branched alkenyl as represented by formula (1), a liquid crystal medium (a liquid crystal composition or a polymer/liquid crystal composite material) containing the liquid crystal compound, and an optical element containing the liquid crystal medium are described. In formula (1), R1 is branched alkyl of C3-20 or branched alkenyl of C3-20. The ring A1, A2, A3, A4 or A5 is 1,4-phenylene or 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, for example. Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 are independently a single bond or C1-4 alkylene, for example. Y1 is fluorine, for example, m, n and p are independently 0 or 1, and 1≤m+n+p≤3.

Regio- and stereoisomers of 1,2,ω-trimethyldecyl propionate (ω = 5-9) were prepared from stereochemically pure chiral building blocks as sex pheromone candidates of a pine sawfly; Diprion nipponica. Among the synthesized candidates, (1S,2R,8S)-1,2,8-trimethyldecyl propionate was found to be the sex pheromone of D. nipponica, based on compatibility of its GC-MS data with that of the extract of females, and its significantly high pheromone activity in a field bioassay. The field bioassay of the synthesized compounds also revealed that (1S,2R,SR)-1,2,8-trimethyldecyl propionate, (1S,2R,7S)-1,2,7-trimethyldecyl propionate, and (1S,2R,6S)-1,2,6-trimethyldecyl propionate could attract male sawflies to some extent as pheromone mimics.
