Fifteen series of homologues of a variety of mono-, di- and trifluorosubstituted alkyl 4′′-alkylterphenyl-4-yl carbonates have been synthesized and their mesomorphic properties have been determined. From among 95 prepared compounds, 40 pure nematogens have been found, as well as 55 mesogens with orthogonal and tilted smectic phases in broad temperature ranges. The type and combination of the LC phase strongly depend on the position and number of the fluorine atoms. Physical properties and correlations between the molecular core fluorosubstitution, the length of the terminal chains and the type and sequence of the liquid crystalline phases, have been determined. The compounds are useful for the formulation of nematic mixtures as well as ferroelectric ones.

Packing tips: The layer spacing of 5.5 nm (see TEM image) of the nanocomposite VPy-SiA/AuNPs-S (5 wt %) under DC/AC electric fields perfectly matches the d spacing of 5.5 nm obtained by in situ XRD measurements under a DC electric field. TEM images revealed that the well-organized packing of layers of surface-modified gold NPs could be induced in the nanocomposite under electric fields. Copyright
New SmCG phases in a hydrogen-bonded bent-core liquid crystal featuring a branched siloxane terminal group

In this study, we synthesized three analogous bent-core molecules, a hydrogen-bonded complex and a covalent-bonded compound with branched siloxane units (H-SiO and C-SiO, respectively) and a hydrogen-bonded complex with an alkyl unit (H-Alk), and investigated the effects of the hydrogen bonding and branched siloxane terminal units on their mesomorphic properties. The covalent-bonded compound C-SiO and the hydrogen-bonded complex H-Alk exhibited typical SmCP phases; in contrast, the hydrogen-bonded complex H-SiO exhibited a series of general tilt smectic (SmCG) phases with highly ordered layer structures (i.e., SmCG2PF-USmCG2P A-SmCG2PF-SmCGPF upon cooling). During the SmCG-type phase transition process, a 2D-modulated ribbon structure transferred into highly ordered layers via undulated layers, as the hydrogen-bonding strength increased with reduced temperatures. As the SmCG domains were aligned under dc electric fields, a gradual decrease in the leaning angle from ca. 60° to 50° (while the tilt angle kept at ca. 31°) could be determined by in situ wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). Combined with Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopic data, our results suggest that the change in the leaning angle was governed by the competition of the hydrogen bonds and microsegregation of siloxane units within the bilayer structure of the hydrogen-bonded complex H-SiO. In addition, the ferroelectric-(antiferroelectric)-ferroelectric transitions proven by the switching current responses in the SmCG-type phases of H-SiO reveal that the polar switching occurred through collective rotations around the long axis of H-SiO. Therefore, novel SmCG phases with a series of highly ordered 2D-structures were induced by the effects of the hydrogen bonding and branched terminal siloxane unit in the bent-core hydrogen-bonded LC complex H-SiO.
V-Shaped switching and interlayer interactions in ferroelectric liquid crystals

Linear electrooptic responses in ferroelectric liquid crystals can be achieved via thresholdless switching. The molecular parameters for the design of ferroelectric liquid crystals that may yield a thresholdless response have not been delineated so far. In this article we explore some of the chemical design features that may be utilised in controlling switching processes, and we develop property-structure correlations in order to achieve materials that exhibit thresholdless behaviour.
