Boron clusters in liquid crystals
Kaszynski,Huang,Jenkins,Bairamov,Lipiak
, p. 315 - 332 (1995)
3-Dimensional aromatic moiety was used for the first time in the synthesis of liquid crystals. Several of the prepared compounds, based on σ-aromatic boron clusters 1 and 2, show only nematic mesophases with relatively high Ti, good electrochemical but limited thermal stability. Absorption and emission spectra of pyridine derivative 15 are reported. Semiempirical methods were employed in evaluation of molecular properties and design of molecules with large coaxial dipole moments.

The balance between good solubility and high crystallinity is an advantageous characteristic of 2,6-bis(4-pentylphenyl-ethynyl)anthracene (1). Organic field-effect transistors featuring either a vacuum-deposited film or a simple drop-cast film of 1 both showed high hole mobilities of 0.94 and 0.63 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively.

scheme or table, p. 1397 - 1401 (2012/03/26)
Endothelial lipase (EL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) are homologous lipases that act on plasma lipoproteins. EL is predominantly a phospholipase and appears to be a key regulator of plasma HDL-C. LPL is mainly a triglyceride lipase regulating (V)LDL levels. The existing biological data indicate that inhibitors selective for EL over LPL should have anti-atherogenic activity, mainly through increasing plasma HDL-C levels. We report here the synthesis of alkyl, aryl, or acyl-substituted phenylboronic acids that inhibit EL. Many of the inhibitors evaluated proved to be nearly equally potent against both EL and LPL, but several exhibited moderate to good selectivity for EL.
The synthesis and transition temperatures of 2-(4-alkyl- and 4-alkoxy-phenyl)-5-cyano-1-benzofurans and related diaryl-1-benzofurans - An assessment of how deviations from linearity and conformational effects in a core unit affect mesogenicity
Friedman,Toyne,Goodby,Hird
, p. 2759 - 2772 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis and transition temperatures are reported for several 2-(4-alkyl- and 4-alkoxy-phenyl)-5-cyano-1-benzofurans, 2-(4′-alkylbiphenyl-4-yl)-5-cyano- and 5-(4′-alkylbiphenyl-4-yl)-2-cyano-1-benzofurans, and for compounds with other combinations of terminal alkyl and cyano groups in 2,5-disubstituted-1-benzofurans containing two phenyl units, some isolated examples of related cyclohexane systems are also presented. The mesogenic behaviour of these compounds and several intermediates (e.g. amides, acids and esters) is discussed and the transition temperatures are rationalised on the following basis (a) 1-benzofuran is a superior core unit to benzene, (b) 2,5-disubstitution in 1-benzofuran gives a bent core which adversely affects mesogenicity, to an extent which depends on its position in the core, (c) antiparallel associations in terminal cyano compounds can eliminate the disadvantage of a bent core structure, (d) 2-aryl-1-benzofurans have negligible inter-annular twist but 5-aryl-1-benzofurans have similar inter-annular twist to that in biphenyls.
