Smectic and columnar liquid crystalline phases through charge-transfer interactions

New heterocyclic electron donors based on a 1,3,5-triazine nucleus are presented. Three phenyl rings are grafted to the triazine core either via secondary amino groups or by a direct C,C-linkage and a specific number of decyloxy chains is attached to the

Efficient synthesis of octaalkyloxy-o-quaterphenyls via base-induced biaryl coupling

Octamethoxy-o-quaterphenyl (8a) was prepared in three steps from 4- bromo-1,2-dimethoxybenzene (5a) employing two base-mediated biaryl couplings. Demethylation of 8a followed by alkylation with decyl bromide gave the tetradecyloxy-o-quaterphenyl (8c).

Molecular design of benzothienobenzothiophene-cored columnar mesogens: Facile synthesis, mesomorphism, and charge carrier mobility

Benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT) liquid-crystalline semiconductors are arousing a lot of interest due to their long-range ordered, self-organizational abilities and high-charge carrier transport properties. In this work, we report the design and the straightforward synthesis of a homologous series of compounds containing the BTBT substructure by the successive Suzuki cross-coupling and FeCl3 oxidative Scholl cyclodehydrogenation reaction. Target π-conjugated aromatic, H-shaped sanidic mesogens self-organize into a classical hexagonal columnar mesophase over wide temperature ranges as deduced from polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) investigations. UV/Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectra, measured in both solution and films, revealed strong photoluminescence with high quantum yields. The charge carrier mobility measured by the time-of-flight (TOF) technique showed a balanced ambipolar hole and electron mobility in the range of 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 between 100 and 230 °C in the mesophase. These BTBT-based columnar liquid crystals may represent attractive candidates to be incorporated within one-dimensional organic optoelectronic devices.

Thermotropic MIDA Boronates as a Case Study for the Role of Dipolar Interactions in Liquid Crystalline Self-Assembly

A series of MIDA (N-methylimino diacetic acid) boronates carrying 4-alkoxy, 3,4-bisalkoxy, or 3,4,5-trisalkoxyphenyl substituents were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques such as small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS, respectively). Most derivatives were liquid crystalline. In the case of mono- and bisalkoxy-substituted derivatives, C6 chains already induced smectic A (SmA) mesophases despite the bulky MIDA head group. With increasing chain length, columnar hexagonal (Colh) phases replaced SmA phases in the disubstituted series. Quantum chemical calculations on a series of MIDA boronates show that the B?N bond is a dative bond with a positive charge on the boron atom and negative charges on the nitrogen and oxygen atoms. In addition, no π-interaction between the aryl moiety and B?N bond was found, thus the mesogenic unit is electronically decoupled from the MIDA head group. These theoretical findings were supported by IR and Raman spectra as well as by asingle crystal structure analysis of 4-ethoxyphenyl MIDA boronate. Calculations of the electrostatic potential of the MIDA boronate reveal a special polarity pattern that can support the formation of a two-dimensional network and is likely to explain the liquid crystalline self-assembly. The absence of any electronic cross-talk between the MIDA head group and B-aryl or B-alkyl substituents allows the efficient tailoring of the mesophase type through variation of the substituents.

Thermotropic properties and molecular packing of discotic tristriazolotriazines with rigid substituents

Tristriazolotriazines with a threefold dialkoxyaryl substitution have been prepared by Huisgen reaction of cyanuric chloride and the corresponding tetrazoles. Although these dyes show a negative or inverted solvatochromism of the UV/Vis absorption, their

Amphiphilic design of a discotic liquid-crystalline molecule for dipole manipulation: Hierarchical columnar assemblies with a 2D superlattice structure

A liquid-crystalline dibenzophenazine that was forced to adopt a head-to-head stacking arrangement to generate a large dipole moment adapted to this stacking by hierarchical assembly into a 2D hexagonal superlattice (see picture). Thus, the net dipole and the contact area between immiscible side chains were minimized. Homeotropic alignment of the assembly on glass gave rise to directional charge transport. Copyright

Columnar and smectic liquid crystals based on crown ethers

Unsymmetrical benzo[15]-crown-5 ethers 5 with one lateral ortho-terphenyl unit bearing alkoxy side chains of varying chain lengths (C5-C14) were prepared from 3,4-dialkoxyphenylbromides 2. Complexation with metal salts MX (M = Na, Cs) afforded the corresp

Extended triphenylenes: Synthesis, mesomorphic properties and molecularly resolved scanning tunneling microscopy images of hexakis(dialkoxyphenyl)triphenylenes and dodeca(alkoxy) tris(triphenylenylene)s

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between 3,4-dialkoxyphenylboronic acids (1a-d) and 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexabromotriphenylene (2) provided 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis[3,4-bis(alkoxy)phenyl]triphenylenes, C18H6[C6H3(OC(n)H(2n + 1)2]6 where n = 6, 8, 10, and 12 (3a-d). Cyclodehydrogenation of the aryl-substituted triphenylenes 3a-d using ferric chloride oxidation followed by methanol reduction produced 6,6',6'',7,7',7'',10,10',10'',11,11',11''-dodecaalkoxy-2,3':3,2':2',3''- tris(triphenylenylene)s, C54H18(OC(n)H(2n + 1))12 where n = 6, 8, 10, and 12 (4a-d). The mesomorphic properties of the compounds 3a-d and 4a-d were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, polarizing microscopy, and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The triphenylenes 3a-d exhibited a columnar mesophase in the range of 111-126, 85-104, 74-103, and 47-101 °C, respectively. Upon oxidation of the moiety, the columnar mesophases shift to higher temperatures and exist in a much broader range of temperatures: for the tris(triphenylenylene)s 4a-d, they have been observed in the range of 180-430, 150-370, 120-322, and 104-306 °C, respectively. Finally, the self-assembly at the interface between a solution of 4c and a graphite substrate has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Molecularly resolved imaging revealed a highly ordered monolayer exhibiting a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice.
