We report the synthesis of a series of blue-emitting 2-phenylbenzoxazoles (PBOs) substituted at either the 5- or 6-position of the benzoxazole ring and the para-position of the phenyl substituent. The thermal and optical properties of the materials can be rationalized in terms of the position of the substituent at the benzoxazole moiety and the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating character of the substituents. From the results, we conclude that the combination of an electron-donating substituent at the benzoxazole fragment and an electron-withdrawing one at the phenyl fragment has a more marked effect on the electronic properties of the aromatic PBO core than other possibilities. This particular combination gives luminophores that are suitable for optical applications on the basis of their high emission efficiency and photostability. In view of that, oriented films were prepared by in situ polymerization of a mixture of a liquid crystalline direactive matrix containing 5% (w/w) of the luminophore. The films exhibit linearly polarized emission.

Nitro-substituted phenolic esters and sulfonates were successfully and selectively deacylated and desulfonated, respectively. The directing effect of the nitro group is supported by the excellent regioselectivities and good yields. These reactions demonst

A novel cross-linked pyroelectric polymer with pronounced second-order nonlinear optical properties has been prepared. A multistep synthesis with several selective transformations including a kinetic resolution (transesterification) with the highly enantioselective Candida antarctica lipase B, yielded the monomer 4''-{(R)-(-)-2[(10-acryloyloxy)decyl]oxy}-3-nitrophenyl 4-{4'-[(11-acryloyloxy)undecyloxy]phenyl}benzoate A2c which displayed a ferroelectric chiral smectic C phase with large spontaneous polarization (175 nC/cm2). The monomer was poled and subsequently cross-linked by in-situ photopolymerization in the surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystalline state. The cross-linked pyroelectric polymer exhibited an electro-optical coefficient (r22-r12) of 15-35 pm/V.
