Synthesis, mesomorphism, photophysics and device performance of liquid-crystalline pincer complexes of gold(iii)

Emissive gold(iii) complexes of pincer 2,6-diphenylpyridines also bearing a phenylacetylide ligand have been modified at both the pincer and phenylacetylide to confer liquid crystalline properties, with most complexes showing a columnar hexagonal phase in

Control the self-assembly of fluorenone-based polycatenars by tuning chain length

Using Suzuki coupling reactions as key steps, a series of fluorenone-based polycatenars, consisting of a central 2,7-diphenyl-9-fluorenone core connected with the 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoate unit via –COO- linkage at each side have been synthesized. Upon elon

Synthesis and self-assembly of aroylhydrazone based polycatenars: A structure-property correlation

Two series of aroylhydrazone based polycatenars which differ from each other in terms of the linking groups (semi flexible ester or flexible ether linkage) were synthesized. These hexacatenars were mesogenic and also showed gelation in organic solvents at

Effect of the linkages on the self-assembly and photophysical properties of 4,7-diphenyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-based luminescent polycatenars

Three series of 4,7-diphenyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (DBTD)based polycatenars containing a central 4,7-diphenyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole moiety connected to 3,4,5-trialkoxyl benzene units at both ends through ether (-OCH2-), ester (-OOC-)or amide (-HNCO-)linkages were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction as key step. The polarities of the linkages had great effect on their self-assembly and photophycial properties. Both ether and amide compounds were mesogens, while the ester compounds were non-mesogens. The ether compounds displayed Colhex/p6mm phases, while the amide compound displayed two kinds of columnar phases i.e. columnar rectangular phase with p2mm and columnar hexagonal phase with p6mm lattices depending on temperature. The column phases could be aligned in electric field or under mechanical shearing. The ether and amide compounds showed the significant red-shifted maximum absorption and emission. In the solid and gel states, both ether and amide compounds were yellow luminescence, while ester compounds were green luminescence.

Synthesis and liquid crystalline properties of novel fluorinated N-benzoyl thiourea compounds. Effect of perfluoroalkyl chains on the thermal behavior and smectic phases stability

A series of novel N-benzoyl-N’-aryl thiourea derivatives (BTU) bearing different number of alkoxy groups in terminal positions of benzoyl unit and a perfluorooctyl group on the other side have been designed and prepared. Their liquid crystalline properties were investigated by a combination of three techniques: polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their thermal stability was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TG). It was found that only the compounds which have only one alkoxy chain attached to benzoyl unit, 1a and 1b, show calamitic mesomorphic behavior, with smectic A and C phases being displayed. The type and stability of these mesophases are greatly influenced by the alkyl chain length as well as by the presence of perfluorooctyl group. The clearing and the mesophase ranges are significantly increased with the incorporation of perfluoroalkyl chains when compared to non-fluorinated analogues, with almost 40 °C. The attachment of additional alkoxy groups on the benzoyl moiety led to a significant decrease of the clearing points and suppression of the mesogenic character.

Triketonate difluoroboron complexes. Substitution-dependent liquid crystal and photophysical properties

Novel alkyloxyphenyl-substituted β,δ-triketonate difluoroboron complexes have been efficiently synthesised and thoroughly characterised. Significant features such as liquid crystal behaviour and solid and solution fluorescence are observed in all cases. The mesomorphism was determined by the presence of one, two or three alkyl chains in each substituent aromatic group of the triketonate ligand. So, smectic C mesophases were found for compounds carrying two lateral chains, each of them located at one of each phenyl substituent, while the presence of four or six chains at the whole molecule gave rise to smectic A or discotic lamellar and hexagonal columnar mesophases, respectively. Fluorescence in the solid state and in solution is again proved to be dependent on the ligand substitution as well as to be maintained in the mesophase. These multifunctional materials also present luminescent sensor activity towards Hg2+ and Cu2+.

Cubic phase formation from new hexacatenar metallomesogens based on cobalt 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoate

Cobalt complexes of Co(3Cn)2(MeOH)4, derived from 3,4,5-trialkyloxybenzoate ligand (noted as 3Cn) with n = 10, 12, 14 and 16, were synthesized and characterized. The crystal of Co(1C12)2(MeOH)4 were determined by means of x-ray single crystal analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group with a = 24.3271(19) ?, b = 14.0058(11) ?, c = 6.4612(4) ?, α = γ = 90o, β = 94.368(4)o, and Z = 2. The phase texture and mesogenic properties were detected by polarized optical microscopic and powder x-ray diffraction technique. It was found that these compounds display the cubic phases. Differential scanning calorimetric data indicated that these compounds were nearly room temperature liquid crystalline and with a very wide mesogenic phase range. Two 3,4,5-trialkyloxybenzaotes were coordinated to a cobalt ion to form novel hexacatenar metallomesogens. The solid-state structure confirmed that two monodentate carboxylate ligands and four methanol molecules coordinated to the cobalt ion to give a slight distorted octahedral geometry. The mesomorphic behavior are stable and exist over a wide temperature range, which is arranged in layers and exhibited enantiotropic cubic mesophase.

Design, synthesis, and characterization of 1,3,5-Tri(1 H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene-based fluorescent supramolecular columnar liquid crystals with a broad mesomorphic range

A new kind of supramolecular columnar liquid crystal T-A with a broad mesomorphic range (up to 164.9 °C), good thermal stability, and strong fluorescence is designed and formed by the H-bonding between 1,3,5-tri(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene (T) and serial gallic acid derivatives (A). Two components are easily available because of simple routes, common reactions, high yields, commercial starting materials, and inexpensive catalysts. The introduction of the 1,2,3-triazole structure into component A makes the textures different and is slightly disadvantageous for the T-A complexes.

Room temperature mesogens formed by H-bonded Schiff-bases α,β,γ-triketonates

Three new series of Schiff bases 1a-c derived from α,β,γ- triketones 2a-c were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties investigated by polarizing optical microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, and powder X-ray diffraction. These Schiff bases

Induction of thermotropic bicontinuous cubic phases in liquid-crystalline ammonium and phosphonium salts

Two series of wedge-shaped onium salts, one ammonium and the other phosphonium, having 3,4,5-tris(alkyloxy)benzyl moieties, exhibit thermotropic bicontinuous "gyroid" cubic (Cubbi) and hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline (LC) phases by nanose
