Structure and properties of novel three-armed star-shaped liquid crystals
Zhang, Bao-Yan,Yao, Dan-Shu,Meng, Fan-Bao,Li, Yuan-Hao
, p. 135 - 140 (2005)
A series of novel three-armed star-shaped liquid crystals based on 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene as a core and ω-[4-(p-alkoxybenzoloxy) phenoxycarbonyl]valeric acid as mesogenic arms were synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed by FTIR and 1
Cross Redox Coupling of Aryl-Aldehydes and p-Benzoquinone

Herein, we report an unprecedented Cross Redox Coupling (CRC) reaction catalyzed by Cu(OAc)2·H2O. As a proof-of-concept, direct coupling of aromatic aldehydes (or alcohols) and p-benzoquinone led to an ester in the presence of the Cu(II)-TBHP combination. During the coupling process, the C-H bond of the aldehydes was converted directly to a C-O bond. Mechanistically, we propose that the reaction proceeded via a radical pathway. In addition, atom and electron economies were well-conserved during this CRC reaction.
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.
