Two series of bis[1,2-bis(4-n-alkylphenyl)ethane-1,2-dithiolene]nickel, Cn-Ni (n= 1-12), and bis[1,2-bis(4-n-alkoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dithiolene]nickel, CnO-Ni(n = 1-12, 14, 16, 18), have been synthesized. Their mesomorphism, thermochromism, supramolecular structures and π-acceptor property have been investigated by using different scanning calorimetry, polarizing microscopy, temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction technique, electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. From the X-ray diffraction and electronic spectral results, it was established that the CnO-Ni complexes for n ≤ 10 exhibit two differently colored discotic lamellar (DL) mesophases whereas none of the Cn-Ni complexes has a mesophase, and that the thermochromism (brown→green) is attributable to a slow transformation from the Ni-Ni bonded dimers to the Ni-S bonded dimers.

Several series of stilbene derivatives for possible use as smart additives in polymers used as packaging films have been prepared and characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry was performed on some of the stilbenes in order to determine any liquid crystal properties. Those compounds which had multiple phase transitions were also shown to have two liquid crystalline phases according to optical microscopy.
REDUCTIVE COUPLING OF BENZOIC ACID HALIDES AND ESTERS USING LOW-VALENT TITANIUM
Dang, Y.,Geise, H. J.
, p. 375 - 380 (2007/10/02)
The reductive coupling of (substituted) benzoic acid chlorides and esters is achieved using low-valent titanium, generated from TiCl3 and LiAlH4.Both acid chlorides and esters seem to follow the same two reaction pathways: one path via tolanes to stilbenes, the other via benzils to complex mixtures of products arising from reduction and further coupling reactions.Although the exact product balance depends upon the reaction conditions the major product is (substituted) cis-stilbene.
NEW SIMPLE METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF CIS-STILBENES
Merkushev, E. B.,Skorokhodova, T. S.
, p. 308 - 311 (2007/10/02)
A new method involving catalytic acetylenic condensation as the key stage was developed for the synthesis of cis-stilbenes.Subsequent selective hydrogenation of the synthesized alkyltolanes over Pd-CaCO3 gave a series of alkyl-substituted stilbenes. 1,8-Dimethylphenanthrene was obtained from o-iodotoluene.
