Emissive gold(iii) complexes of pincer 2,6-diphenylpyridines also bearing a phenylacetylide ligand have been modified at both the pincer and phenylacetylide to confer liquid crystalline properties, with most complexes showing a columnar hexagonal phase in

Three series of 4,7-diphenyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (DBTD)based polycatenars containing a central 4,7-diphenyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole moiety connected to 3,4,5-trialkoxyl benzene units at both ends through ether (-OCH2-), ester (-OOC-)or amide (-HNCO-)linkages were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction as key step. The polarities of the linkages had great effect on their self-assembly and photophycial properties. Both ether and amide compounds were mesogens, while the ester compounds were non-mesogens. The ether compounds displayed Colhex/p6mm phases, while the amide compound displayed two kinds of columnar phases i.e. columnar rectangular phase with p2mm and columnar hexagonal phase with p6mm lattices depending on temperature. The column phases could be aligned in electric field or under mechanical shearing. The ether and amide compounds showed the significant red-shifted maximum absorption and emission. In the solid and gel states, both ether and amide compounds were yellow luminescence, while ester compounds were green luminescence.

A new series of C3-symmetric, π-conjugated molecules was designed, synthesized and characterized. The materials were derived from electron-accepting s-triazine, appended covalently to electron-donating styrylbenzene arms, and were readily prepared in excellent yield with high purity by means of three-fold condensation of triphosphonate with n-alkoxybenzaldehydes under Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction conditions. Examination of the phase transitional properties by several complementary techniques evidenced self-assembly into a hexagonal columnar phase, occurring over wide and reasonable thermal ranges. The photophysical properties were studied both in solution and in the fluid/frozen columnar states by UV/Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The emission spectra obtained as a function of the temperature rule out the breaking-up of larger columns and a non-radiative, thermally activated process. A study carried out on thin films of the glassy columnar state, which accounts for conserved fluorescence, defect-free orientation, and freezing ionic species, with the help of atomic force microscopy (AFM) images, suggested a homogeneous granular morphology comprising fibrillar structures. Dissimilarities in the surface morphology and birefringence of thin films of the solid and frozen columnar states were clearly shown by Raman spectroscopy. An electrochemical investigation revealed a LUMO energy of ?4.0 eV. Thus, the discotic motifs presented herein meet certain criteria of organic materials, which are essential for developing electronic devices.
