Two series of benzo(thia)xazoles 1–2 and one series of boron difluoride complexes 2-BF2 derived from benzothiazoles 2 were reported, and their mesomorphic and optical properties were investigated. The crystal and molecular structures of compound 2 and 2-BF2 (all n = 8) were determined by means of X?ray structural analysis, and both crystallize in the triclinic P-1 and monoclinic P21/c. The geometry at boron center is perfectly tetrahedral, and the overall molecular shapes are considered as rod?shape. Both benzo(thia)xazoles 1 and 2 exhibited N or/and SmC phase, and boron complexes 2-BF2 formed N or/and SmC phase. Benzothiazoles 2 showed a much wider temperature range of mesophase than those of benzoxazoles 1, which were attributed to the better polarization by sulfur atom incorporated. Boron complexes 2-BF2 (n = 10, 12) emitted a yellow?to?green emission at λmax = 569–571 nm in CH2Cl2. This is the first mesogenic BF2 complexes derived from benzothiazoles.

A series of bis(4-alkoxyphenyl) viologen bis(triflimide) salts with alkoxy chains of different lengths were synthesized by the metathesis reaction of respective bis(4-alkoxyphenyl) viologen dichloride salts, which were in turn prepared from the reaction of Zincke salt with the corresponding 4-n-alkoxyanilines, with lithium triflimide in methanol. Their chemical structures were characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and elemental analysis. Their thermotropic liquid-crystalline (LC) properties were examined by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and variable temperature X-ray diffraction. Salts with short length alkoxy chains had crystal-to-liquid transitions. Salts of intermediate length alkoxy chains showed both crystal-to-smectic A (SmA) transitions, Tms, and SmA-to-isotropic transitions, Tis. Those with longer length of alkoxy chains had relatively low Tms at which they formed the SmA phases that persisted up to the decomposition at high temperatures. As expected, all of them had excellent thermal stabilities in the temperature range of 330-370 ?C. Their light-emitting properties in methanol were also included.

A series of novel azo-coumarin derivatives with different aliphatic chain length (3a-e) have been synthesized and characterized for liquid crystal properties and their photoswitching behavior. The incorporation of coumarin along with azobenzene was prepared via esterification reaction and differ in the length of alkyl group, CnH2n+1, where n = 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14. Azo-coumarin bearing C14 alkyl chain shows Smectic–A phase while azo-coumarin bearing rest of long alkyl chain exhibited Nematic phase. The incorporation of natural product moieties into azobenzene network has increased electron delocalisation and liquid crystal properties. The photoswitching properties of said molecules were tested and the coumarin-azo compounds 3a-e took ~46 s to reach photostationary state during UV illumination and exhibited long thermal back relaxation time (~16 h) in solutions. Device is also fabricated to see the performance of the device with respect to the alkyl chain length. Presented studies show the importance of azo-coumarin derivatives with different chain length for the application of optical storage devices.

A new family of bowl-shaped molecules with a calix[4]arene rigid core and appended on four-sides, that display a wide range of hexagonal columnar phases, has been synthesised and well characterized. The thermal behaviours of the present compounds were established using a combination of polarising optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction method (XRD). It is found that all of the synthesised materials show an enantiotropic hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase. The structural and conformation characterization of these newly synthesised compounds was achieved by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. All of the synthesised compounds exhibited good blue luminescence in solution under long wavelength UV light. To explore the structure property correlations, the alkoxy side chain group was varied from a lower alkyl spacer to a higher alkyl spacer on the lower rim of the calix[4]arene. The present research specified that the introduction of linking groups on the lower rim with an n-alkoxy side group is an influential approach to obtaining a supramolecular bowl shape liquid crystal which has good thermal and photophysical behaviour.

Three new families of borondifluoride complexes 1a–c derived from salicylideneamines 2a and β-enaminoketonates 2b–c were reported, and their mesomorphic and optical properties were also investigated. One single crystal and molecular structure of nonmesogenic BF2 complex 1c (n = 10) was resolved and the geometry of the central boron atom was tetrahedron. A larger dihedral angle of 81.3° between the two phenyl rings observed in crystal lattice was attributed to the lack of liquid crystallinity. Boron complexes 1a formed monotropic SmA phases, while boron complexes 1b exhibited enantiotropic SmC mesophases. The optical property of the boron complexes was dependent on their molecular structures, and they emitted a blue–to–green emission at λmax = 476–541 nm in the solution and 488–550 nm in the solid state. This is the first group of mesogenic BF2 complexes with the Schiff bases derived from respective salicylideneamines and β-enaminoketones.

New quaternary ammonium gemini surfactants of the general formula CnH2n?+?1-Ph-NHCOCH2N+(CH3)2-(CH2)s-N+(CH3)2CH2CONH-Ph-CnH2n?+?1 (with n?=?8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and s?=?2, 4, 6) have been synthesized by an efficient synthetic pathway based on the quaternization of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylalkylenediamine with 2-bromo-N-(4-(alkyloxy) phenyl) acetamides. Their surface properties were investigated by surface tension, electrical conductivity and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The study shows that the incorporation of a benzene ring in the hydrophobic tail prompts micelle formation which leads to a smaller cmc values in the range of 0.21–0.009?mM compared to analogous geminis bearing alkyl hydrophobic chains. The length of the spacer and the hydrophobic chain has a pronounced effect on the aggregation behavior of surfactants molecules. This was confirmed by the average surfaces occupied by these molecules at the water–air interface calculated from the Gibbs equation. The size of the aggregates was measured by employing dynamic light scattering technique. The antimicrobial activity of investigated surfactants was evaluated against three microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.

Nowadays, heterocyclic units have been extensively studied for the preparation of thermotropic liquid crystals due to their ability to impart lateral and/or longitudinal dipoles and induce changes in molecular shape. Key parameters to accede to stable mesophases are the position of the heterocycle and the nature of terminal and linking functions. We present in this paper, an overview of several series of 1,2,3-triazole liquid crystalline derivatives that we designed and characterized. We highlight the effect of different connecting functions and the geometry of mesogenic core on the mesomorphic behavior of these derivatives.

A new series of aspirin bearing alkylated amines moieties 1-12 were synthesised by reacting isothiocyanate with a series of aniline derivatives in overall yield of 16-56%. The proposed structures of all the synthesised compounds were confirmed using elemental analysis, FTIR, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. All compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activities against E. coli and S. aureus via turbidimetric kinetic and Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Compound 5 bearing meta -CH3 substituent showed the highest relative inhibition zone diameter against tested bacteria compared to ortho and para substituent. Furthermore, aspirin derivatives bearing shorter chains exhibited better bacterial inhibition than longer alkyl chains.

A series of new low molecular organogelators (LMOGs) with thermotropic mesophase were synthesized via the reaction of 3,6-dimethyl-pyrazine-2,5- dicarboxylic acid with p-alkoxyl anilines. These compounds readily formed stable gels in a variety of organic solvents and their self-assembly behavior, structure-property relationship were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultra-violet-visible spectroscopy (UV). The results showed a combination of intra-hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking and van der Waals interaction resulted in the aggregation of the organogelators to form three-dimension fibrous networks. The gels formed were multi-responsive to environmental stimuli, such as temperature, fluorinion, and shear stress. More importantly, all the organogelators exhibited thermotropic hexagonal column mesophase as revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), and variable temperature XRD studies. A control compound was synthesized and its gelling ability was also checked.
