Nucleophilic substitution reaction between 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, HCCP formed hexakis(4-formlyphenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene, 1. Intermediates 2a-e was formed from the alkylation reaction of methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate with alkyl bromide which further reduced to form benzoic acid intermediates. Further reaction of 2a-e and other substituted benzoic acid formed 3a-h, which then reduced to give subsequent amines, 4a-h. Other similar reaction was used to synthesis 4i. Condensation reaction between 1 and 4a-i yielded hexasubstituted cyclotriphosphazene compounds, 5a-i having Schiff base and amide linking units, and these compounds consist of different terminal substituents such as heptyl, nonyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hydroxy, carboxy, chloro, and nitro groups, respectively. Compound 5j with amino substituent at terminal end was formed from the reduction of 5i. All the intermediates and compounds were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and CHN elemental analysis. Mesophase texture of these compounds were determined using Polarized Optical Microscope (POM) and their mesophase transition were further confirmed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Only compounds 5a-e with alkoxy chains exhibited smectic A phase while other intermediates (1, 2a-e, 3a-h, and 4a-i) and final compounds (5f-j) are found to be non-mesogenic with no liquid crystal behaviour. The confirmation of the identity of the SmA phase was determined using XRD analysis. The study on the structure-properties relationship was conducted in order to determine the effect of the terminal group, length of the chains and linking units to the mesophase behaviour of the compounds. Moreover, the fire retardant properties of these compounds were determined using Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) testing. Polyester resin with LOI value of 22.53% was used as matrix for moulding in the study. The LOI value increased to 24.71% when this polyester resin incorporated with 1 wt% of HCCP. Generally, all the final compounds showed a positive results with LOI value above 27% and the highest LOI value was belonged to compound 5i with 28.53%. The high thermal stability of the Schiff base molecules and the electron withdrawing group of the amide bonds and nitro group enhanced the fire retardant properties of this compound.

In this manuscript, we design and synthesize a series of X-shaped mesogenic monomers, bearing two terminal-alkene tails. Starting from these X-shaped monomers, acyclic diene metathesis polymerization and thiol-ene polyaddition are applied for the first time to prepare two series of side-on main-chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs), respectively. The mesomorphic behaviors and structure-property relationships of these new polymers are studied in detail by a combination of 1H NMR, GPC, TGA, DSC, POM, and XRD experiments. It turns out that the length of alkoxy terminal chains of the embedded mesogens and the length of the spacer connecting two adjacent mesogens on the polymer backbones markedly influence the mesomorphic properties. Furthermore, a side-on main-chain liquid crystalline elastomer fiber is prepared by crosslinking the LCP using a UV-sensitive bifunctional benzophenone crosslinker. In comparison with the pure polymer fiber's monodomain alignment, the crosslinked elastomer fiber however shows nonaligned polydomain structure, probably due to the order competitions between the mixed crosslinkers, mesogens, and polymer backbones. 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Liquid crystals derived from semifluorinated alkoxybenzoyl hydrazines
Khairuddean, Melati,Twieg, Robert J.
, p. 3 - 31 (2012/08/13)
A variety of liquid crystals with semifluorinated tails including 4-alkoxybenzoic acids (1d-h), 4-alkoxybenzoyl hydrazines (2d-h), and N,N0-bis(4-alkoxybenzoyl) hydrazines (3d-m) have been synthesized, and their properties are compared with their perhydrogenated analogs. Semifluorination in compounds 1d-h suppressed nematic phases, and semifluorinated compounds 2d-h exhibit mesogenic behavior where none is found in their perhydrogenated counterparts. Compounds 3a-c with perhydrogenated chains display Cub and SmC phases. Introduction of one semifluorinated chain, 3d-h suppresses the Cub phase but induces a SmA phase, with lower melting but higher clearing temperatures compared to compounds with two semifluorinated chains, 3i-m. The mesogenic properties of some selected binary mixtures of these compounds 3a-d and some lateral fluoro substituted N,N'-bis (4-alkoxybenzoyl) hydrazines 7-9 are also discussed.

Calamitic organometallic liquid crystals with terminal metal. Syntheses and liquid crystal properties of dicarbonylrhodium(I) β-diketonate complexes

, p. 157 - 161 (2007/10/03)
A series of novel organometallic complexes based on γ-substituted β-diketone ligands with terminal metal Rh(I) have been prepared by reaction of the ligands with [Rh(CO)2(μ-Cl)]2. The mesomorphism of the ligands and complexes has been investigated using DSC and polarizing microscope. It is found that non-mesogenic ligands with n=7, 8, 9, 10, 11 can form liquid crystalline phase by direct coordination to metal. The effect of the terminal carbon number on the mesomorphism has also been discussed.

SYNTHESIS AND MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF THE HOMOLOGOUS SERIES OF 4-ALKYL OR ALKOXY-4 prime -BROMO OR CYANOTOLANES.
Tinh,Pourrere,Destrade
, p. 125 - 139 (2007/10/02)
A homologous series of 4-alkyl or alkoxy-4 prime -bromo or cyanotolanes in which the alkyl group is C//4 yields C//1//0 and the alkoxy group is C//1 yields C//1//2, was prepared. Interphase transitions between solid, mesomorphic and isotropic phases were studied by hot stage microscopy and differential scanning calorimeter. The bromo compounds have a smectic polymorphism. Three pure products of cyano derivatives with the chains C//9H//1//9O, C//1//0H//2//1O amd C//1//0H//2//1 present an enantiotropic or monotropic reentrant nematic phase at atmospheric pressure. The reentrant phenomenon itself is discussed as well as the absence of correlation between T//N//A/T//N//I McMillan parameter and the heat of transition. A plot of the nematic isotropic transition temperatures against the number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy chain shows the usual odd even effect.
