We report structurally new type of dimers composed of bent-core molecules connected through their central cores by an alkylene spacer. Various self-assembling structures are discovered when prolonging the terminal alkyl chains in arms. Among diverse mesop

Chiral segregation of enantiomers or chiral conformers of achiral molecules during self-assembly in well-ordered crystalline superstructures has fascinated chemists since Pasteur. Here we report spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking in cubic phases formed

, (2012/09/25)
The invention relates to modified polysaccharide ethers having a weight-averaged molecular weight of 40000 to 50000 g/mole, zero shear viscosity of more than 10 Pas, and pseudoplasticity of more than 20, obtainable by reacting cellulose-based polysaccharide ether(s) with at least one mesogenic modification agent or modified polysaccharide ethers, obtainable by reacting polysaccharide ether(s) selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose (HEMC), methyl cellulose, and cellulose ethers with methyl and/or ethyl and/or propyl groups and mixtures thereof, with at least one mesogenic modification agent. Said substances can be used to produce gel-like to stable aqueous preparations having viscoelastic flow properties, which are suited for use in the human body, particularly within the scope of ophthalmologic procedures.

experimental part, p. 63 - 72 (2011/09/13)
A new family of symmetrical eight aromatic ring-containing bent-shaped mesogens in which the central elbow is a ketone has been synthesized and characterized. The effect of the side chain on the mesomorphism has been studied. All the bent derivatives were found to exhibit mesomorphism. The higher homologues of the series exhibit the B1 phase and the lower homologues of the series show the B6 phase. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Chiral smectic *C mesogens having ester and amide central linkages
Tandel,Vora
, p. 103 - 116 (2008/09/20)
Ten members of a chiral homologous series 4-(4'-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy benzoyl)4''- S- (+) 2-methyl butoxy anilides were synthesized in multiple step synthesis. Series exhibits chiral smectic *C and cholesteric mesophases. In this series, n-propyl to n-dodecyl derivatives exhibit smectic *C and cholesteric mesophases. n-Tetradecyl and n-hexadecyl derivatives exhibit only smectic *C phases. The plot of transition temperatures versus number of carbon atoms in alkoxy chain exhibits odd-even effect for cholestric-isotropic transition temperatures. The effect of amide linkage and chirality is discussed in detail. High-temperature cholestric phases exhibit vivid colors. Two compounds were analyzed by calorimetric study (C12 and C14) to confirm the transition temperatures of which was observed under polarizing microscope. The mesogenic behavior of the series compared with other series where amide central linkage differs in its position. The mesogenic thermal stability is compared with other related homologous series. The result indicates that amide linkage enhances smectic as well as cholesteric thermal stability but enhancement in smectic phase is much higher. Compounds are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral data, Mass spectral data, DSC, NMR, and microscopic study.
Bent-core liquid crystal (LC) decorated gold nanoclusters: Synthesis, self-assembly, and effects in mixtures with bent-core LC hosts

We present the first synthesis of a series of thiol-, thioacetate-, and xanthate-terminated bent-core derivatives, as well as the preparation of gold nanoclusters using the thiol-terminated bent-core compounds. The mesomorphic properties of the bent-core compounds have been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and electro-optic tests. From this series, the mono-xanthate derivatives form rectangular or hexagonal columnar phases, and the mono-thiol derivative with shorter alkyl chains forms a metastable, likely smectic, phase. All other bent-core compounds and intermediates exclusively form disordered or multi-layer lamellar crystalline solid modifications. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) images of the bent-core functionalized gold nanoclusters prepared from the thiol-terminated derivatives, taken after slow evaporation of the solvent, provide evidence for the formation of self-assembled nanocluster arrays. Upon dispersion of these gold nanoclusters in two structurally related bent-core LC hosts (one forming a SmCPA, and the second with a terminal double bond displaying a Colr phase), a shift in the surface plasmon resonance was observed indicating a LC host-dependent aggregation of the nanoparticles. Finally, we report initial results on the effects of different concentrations of these nanoclusters on the thermal properties as well as the applied voltage/current response of the parent SmCPA host.
