Dimeric molecular capsules under redox control

A new tetraferrocenylurea calix[4]arene was prepared in order to investigate its dimerization properties. 1H NMR spectroscopic data clearly established that this calixarene forms stable dimeric molecular capsules in chloroform solution. The dim

Chiral polymorphism in new imine based rod-like liquid crystals

New imine based rod-like compounds, composed of three-benzene-ring molecular core linked with azomethine as well as ester groups and terminated with (S)-3,7-dimethyloctyloxy chiral unit at one side have been synthesized. The other terminal position has been varied by using n-octyloxy/decyloxy/dodecyloxy groups to reveal chain length effect on mesophase behavior. The liquid crystalline properties of the new compounds have been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and electro-optic studies. The novel chiral calamitics derived from Schiff base or salicylaldimine-core show a chiral polymorphism comprising of blue phase and chiral nematic as well as smectics such as chiral tilted smectic and unidentified smectic mesophase.

Luminescent mesogenic borondifluoride complexes with the Schiff bases containing salicylideneamines and β-enaminoketones core systems

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.
