Generation of liquid crystallinity from a Td-symmetry central unit

A series of new columnar liquid crystals containing an adamantane central unit with its four bridgehead positions partially or fully decorated with different numbers (1-4) of 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl carbamoyl groups were designed and investigated carefully to explore the structure-property correlations. The molecular structures and mesomorphic properties of the DLCs were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, UV-vis, POM, DSC and XRD. It was found that the mesophase symmetry and thermal stability were extremely dependent on the structures of the adamantane derivatives. No mesophase was observed for the 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid derivative ADLC1, while two different mesophases were observed for ADLC2, a 1,3-disubstituted derivative functionalized with two 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl carbamoyl groups at two symmetric bridgehead positions. At lower temperature ADLC2 exhibited a rectangular columnar phase, which switched to a square columnar phase possessing a wide temperature range. Similarly, a hexagonal columnar mesophase was observed for the bridgehead trisubstituted adamantane molecule ADLC3. Interestingly, the fully bridgehead-functionalized 1,3,5,7-tetrasubstituted adamantane compound ADLC4 completely lost liquid crystallinity.

We report the synthesis of disk-shape liquid crystalline materials using multi-component reactions (MCR). Two new series, 3,9-di(3′,4′,5′-tris-alkyloxy)phenyl-2,3,4,8,9,10-hexahydronaphtho[1,2-e:5,6-e']bis([1,3]oxazine) and 3,10-di((3′,4′,5′-tris-alkyloxy

In this study, a C3-symmetric star-shaped discotic mesogen has been reported based on an electron-deficient tris(triazole) central rigid core functionalized with three peripheral trialkoxyphenyl units. The mesogen exhibits an enantiotropic columnar hexagonal (Colh) phase that can sustain over a significant temperature range. When used in space-charge limited current (SCLC) devices, it showed ambipolar charge transport behavior with high electron mobility (μe) of 1.61 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 at ambient temperature. The finding is sufficiently significant to warrant their use in organic electronic devices.

A modular and facile route has been developed to synthesize functionalized 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1-H-arylpyrroles from readily available starting materials. These units are compatible with various polymerization conditions and are versatile building blocks for conjugated polymers. The polymers show high thermal stability and solubility in a number of solvents. Characterization of the polymers reveals a correlation between molecular packing, controllable by polymer design, and charge carrier mobility.
Self-assembly and solid-state polymerization of butadiyne derivatives with amide and trialkoxyphenyl groups
Kikuchi, Kohei,Tatewaki, Yoko,Okada, Shuji
, p. 298 - 305 (2017/05/10)
Three butadiyne derivatives with amide and tri(dodecyloxy)-phenyl (TDP) groups were synthesized, and four solidification methods were applied to obtain their self-assembling states in various conditions. The solids obtained were characterized by the solid-state polymerization behaviors, stretching vibration wavenumbers of N-H bonds of amide groups, powder X-ray diffraction, the thermal behaviors, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations. We found that all compounds had at least two polymorphs. Property differences between two polymorphs depended on the compounds. Two compounds showed clear differences in UV-vis spectra of the photo-polymerized solids, i.e., the polydiacetylene (PDA) structure, and irregularly polymerized form, or two PDA structures. The remaining compound showed the same PDA absorption but the monomer melting points were different. All compounds gave the gels in various organic solvents because of the molecular design with amide and TDP groups. SEM observation clarified the relationship between gel appearance and the nanostructures.
Supramolecular assembly of isocyanorhodium(i) complexes: An interplay of rhodium(i)···rhodium(i) interactions, hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions, and host-guest chemistry

A series of tetrakis(isocyano)rhodium(I) complexes with different chain lengths of alkyl substituents has been found to exhibit a strong tendency toward solution state aggregation upon altering the concentration, temperature and solvent composition. Temperature- and solvent-dependent UV-vis absorption studies have been performed, and the data have been analyzed using the aggregation model to elucidate the growth mechanism. The aggregation is found to involve extensive Rh(I)···Rh(I) interactions that are synergistically assisted by hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions to give a rainbow array of solution aggregate colors. It is noted that the presence of three long alkyl substituents is crucial for the observed cooperativity in the aggregation. Molecular assemblies in the form of nanoplates and nanovesicles have been observed in the hexane-dichloromethane solvent mixtures, arising from the different formation mechanisms based on the alkyl chain length of the complexes. Benzo-15-crown-5 moieties have been incorporated for selective potassium ion binding to induce dimer formation and drastic color changes, rendering the system as potential colorimetric and luminescent cation sensors and as building blocks for ion-controlled supramolecular assembly.
