Molecular factors responsible for the formation of the axially polar columnar mesophase ColhPA

The structure of hexacatenar bent-shape molecules has been systematically modified in order to determine the main molecular factors responsible for the appearance of the axially polar columnar mesophase. It was found that the stability of the polar phase

The synthesis and mesomorphism of di-, tetra- and hexa-catenar liquid crystals based on 2,2′-bipyridine

2,2′-Bipyridines are known to coordinate to a wide variety of metal centres. In this paper, liquid-crystalline two-chained (dicatenar), four-chained (tetracatenar) and six-chained (hexacatenar) bipyridines are synthesised and their mesomorphism is described. For the tetracatenar bipyridines, a full homologous series, from tetramethoxy to tetratetradecyloxy, was synthesised, and the phase diagram showed a classic progression from nematic and smectic C phases at short chain length, through a cubic phase to a columnar phase.
