Structural variation of liquid crystalline trioxadecalins
Vill, Volkmar,Tunger, Hanns-Walter,Von Minden, Markus
, p. 739 - 745 (1996)
Synthesis and mesogenic properties of new liquid crystals bearing a chiral trioxadecalin system are described. Boron-containing three-ring systems with a lateral methoxy group show cholesteric, TGBA and smectic A phases. Molecules containing fo
Carbohydrate-based Liquid Crystals: New Compounds showing Re-entrant TGBA and Cholesteric Phases and Dopant-induced TGBA, SA and SC* Phases
Vill, Volkmar,Tunger, Hanns-Walter
, p. 1047 - 1048 (2007/10/02)
Re-entrant TGBA and cholesteric phases are observed in a homologous series of pure chiral carbohydrate-based compounds, and contact preparation induces SA phases between cholesteric and nematic compounds as well as re-entrant and Ss
Liquid Crystals Derived from Carbohydrates: Synthesis and Properties of Oxadecaline Compounds
Vill, Volkmar,Tunger, Hanns-Walter
, p. 1055 - 1060 (2007/10/02)
Reaction of glucal 1 with alkoxybenzene leads after hydrogenation and deacetylation to β-C glycosides 4, which can be used as chiral compounds in the synthesis of chiral calamitic liquid crystals.The combination with aliphatic aldehydes leads to liquid cr
Sign inversion of the helical pitch in carbohydrate-based liquid crystals
Vill,Tunger,Stegemeyer,Diekmann
, p. 2443 - 2446 (2007/10/02)
A four-step synthesis starting from tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal leads to chiral trioxadecalin compounds containing a cyano group. The mesogenic properties of a homologous series of liquid crystals are reported; for two derivatives a helix inversion of the chole
