New low polar tolane cholesterics designed for infrared applications

We have designed, synthesized and evaluated the physical properties of new fluorinated phenyltolane based chiral liquid crystal materials with 2-methylbutyl terminal chain. The 2- or 2,6-fluorosubstitution in combination with the phenyltolane core brings surprising improvement of mesomorphic properties. The investigated compounds are characterized by a broad temperature range of the cholesteric (chiral nematic N?) phase, very low melting temperatures and easy thermal control of selective reflection in the near infrared region. The moderate helical twisting power β, high optical anisotropy and source of a blue phase make these compounds attractive for cholesteric mixture formulations.

The synthesis of chiral fluorinated 4-alkyl-4′-[(4-alkylphenyl) ethynyl]biphenyls

We have designed, synthesized, and evaluated the physical properties of new fluorinated phenyltolane based chiral liquid crystal materials with 2-methylbutyl chains. This type of fluoro-substitution in chemical combination with a phenyltolane core brings a surprising improvement to the mesomorphic properties. The investigated compounds exhibit broad temperature ranges for the N* phase and very low melting points. All homologues exhibited Blue Phase. We have applied a Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between aryl Grignard reagents and alkyl bromides for the synthesis of the products.
