Binary mixtures with both the components are non-mesogenic becomes an interesting and enlighten feature when they exhibit mesomorphism at ambient temperature. In the present study, we report five binary systems where two non-mesogenes exhibit smectic and/or nematic mesophases at ambient temperature over a certain range of concentration. All the binary systems contain one non-mesogenic naphthalene derivative. The study provides many binary systems of non-mesogens which exhibit mesophases at ambient temperatures. The terminal nitro chain is found to be responsible for the induction of both the nematogenic and smectogenic tendency in the present investigation of binary systems with two ‘compatible' component.

Bis ester derivatives of coumarin containing chalcone linkage with various terminal alkoxy groups were designed, synthesized and characterized. Compounds 11a-m were studied for their mesomorphic properties using polarizing optical microscope & differential scanning calorimetry and photophysical properties using UV-vis & fluorescence spectroscopy. In this particular homologous series, compounds having lower flexible alkoxy chains showed very good mesogenic property with nematic mesophase formation, while analogues with higher chains failed to show any liquid crystalline property. Compound 11a with methoxy group showed very good absorbance and fluorescence as compared to higher chain length analogues.

The mesomorphic properties of linear shaped homologous series based on two linkage group have been designed and synthesized with different side chain substituents (-OR) on the one end of terminal side with presence of lateral nitro group and second terminal iodo substituted group. Novel series consists thirteen members (C1 to C8, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18). Compounds (C1 to C6) showed nonliquid crystalline properties while compound (C7 to C18) displayed smectic and nematogenic mesophase properties. The textures of smectic C and nematic phase are fan, schlieren and droplets type. All these compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as [FTIR] and 1H Nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were observed by POM and further confirmed by DSC and XRD. Chalconyl ester based compounds (C3 to C12) shows good antibacterial as well as antifungal activity compared with corresponding standard drugs.

A two new homologous series of λ-shape to T-shape mesogenic azo diesters were synthesized, and their thermotropic properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and a hot-stage polarizing optical microscope. The difference between these two series is in the structure of terminal substituents methyl (–CH3) for series I and methoxy (–OCH3) for series II at one terminus. Structure variation from λ-shape to T-shape as we go from lower members to higher members is discussed. In the series I, methoxy to n-pentyloxy derivatives are non-mesogenic. n-hexyloxy derivative exhibits only monotropic nematic mesophase. n-heptyloxy to n-dodecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic smectic C mesophase. n-tetradecyloxy derivative exhibits enantiotropic SmA mesophase, whereas n-hexadecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic Smectic A mesophase. In series II, methoxy to n-hexyloxy derivatives are non-mesogenic. n-heptyloxy and n-octyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic smectic C mesophase. Smectic A mesophase commences from the n-decyloxy derivative as a monotropic and persists up to the last member synthesized. The mesomorphic properties of the present series were compared with each other and with the structurally related mesogenic homologous series to evaluate the effect of methyl (–CH3)/methoxy (–OCH3) substituents as well as variation in the shape of the molecule by varying the alkoxy chain length of the bulky lateral substituent on mesomorphism.

The steroidal derivatives are found to be extremely good mesogens since their inception. Because of their inherent chirality, they have the potential to induce a wide variety of liquid crystalline phases, including frustrated phases depending upon the structure of the steroidal skeleton and the substituents attached. In this report, a series of novel monoalkoxy and dialkoxy benzoate derivatives of ergosterol and a few monoalkoxy derivatives of stigmasterol have been synthesized and their mesomorphic property has been investigated. The derivatives exhibited various mesophases including SmA, SmC*, N*, TGB and blue phases. Also, the gelation ability of some of these derivatives with various organic solvents has been examined. Furthermore, the mesomorphism of these derivatives has been compared with the analogous cholesteryl counterparts.

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a bile acid-activated nuclear receptor, regulates the metabolism of bile acid and lipids as well as maintains the stability of internal environment. FXR was considered as a therapeutic target of liver disorders, such as drug-induced liver injury, fatty liver and cholestasis. The previous reported FXR partial agonist 6 was a suitable lead compound in terms of its high potent and low molecular size, while the docking study of compound 6 suggested a large unoccupied hydrophobic pocket, which might be provided more possibility of structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. In this study, we have performed comprehensive SAR and molecular modeling studies based on lead compound 6. All of these efforts resulted in the identification of a novel series of FXR partial agonists. In this series, compound 41 revealed the best activity and strong interaction with binding pocket of FXR. Moreover, compound 41 protected mice against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by the regulation of FXR-related gene expression and improving antioxidant capacity. In summary, these results suggest that compound 41 is a promising FXR partial agonist suitable for further investigation.

The phase properties of equimolar mixtures consisting of a hydrogen bond donor, a 4-alkoxybenzoic acid (nOBA), and one of two different stilbazole-based hydrogen bond acceptors, either 4-[(E)-2-(4-{[6-(4′-methoxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)hexyl]oxy}phenyl)-ethenyl]-pyridine (1OB6OS) or 4-[(E)-4′-(6-{4-[(E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethenyl]phenoxy}hexyl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile (CB6OS) are reported. Neither hydrogen bond acceptor exhibits liquid crystal behaviour whereas the nOBA compounds show smectic and/or nematic behaviour depending on the length of the alkyloxy chain. For the complexes of an nOBA with n = 1–5, both conventional nematic and twist-bend nematic phases were observed, while for n ≥ 6 smectic phases emerged and the twist-bend nematic phase was extinguished. The CB6OS-nOBA mixtures may exhibit the heliconical smectic CTB phase. The local molecular arrangement in the two sets of mixtures are similar and changes on increasing n but this is not reflected in the nematic-isotropic transition temperatures. Birefringence studies of the mixtures are reported. In general the behaviour of the hydrogen-bonded mixtures is similar to that of their covalently bonded counterparts.

The 2, 6-diaminopyridine was symmetrically substituted with coumarins from a lateral side of the molecules. All the molecules characterized by standard spectroscopic methods such as infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques. Mesomorphic properties are evaluated by the differential scanning calorimetry and the polarized optical microscope. The measurements show that the lower members did not favour liquid crystal formation, while higher members are exhibiting liquid crystalline, namely Nematic mesophase. The DFT computations manifest the nature of liquid crystal geometrical aspects.

, p. 76 - 89 (2021/04/14)
A new rod-like homologous series consisting twelve compounds with central ester linkage and terminal tert-butyl group, tert-butyl [4-(4’-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzoates] has been synthesized and characterized through standard spectroscopic techniques like UV, FT-IR, 1HNMR, DSC, POM, and XRD. Methoxy and ethoxy derivatives are nonmesogenic. Nematic mesophase commences as enantiotropy from propyloxy derivative and persists up to the octadecyloxy derivatives. Smectic A mesophase commences as monotropy from propyloxy to the octadecyloxy derivatives. The mesomorphic properties of present series are compared with other structurally related series to evaluate the effect of terminal tert-butyl group on mesomorphism. Two derivatives are subjected to in?vitro antimicrobial activity.
