Nematogenic Laterally Substituted Supramolecular H-Bonded Complexes Based on Flexible Core

Laterally substituted symmetric and nonsymmetric salicylideneimine-based bent-core mesogens

Bent-core mesogens have gained considerable importance due to their ability to form new mesophases with unusual properties. Relationships between the chemical structure of bent-core molecules and the type and physical properties of the formed mesophases are relatively unknown in detail and differ strongly from those known for calamitic liquid crystals. In this paper symmetric and nonsymmetric f...

Cooperativity in multiply H-bonded complexes.

The free energy of complexation of supramolecular complexes containing phenol-carbamate H-bonds is an additive function of the number of H-bonds, with a constant increment of 6 kJ mol(-1) per interaction in carbon tetrachloride.

Superfluorinated Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Supramolecular, Halogen‐Bonded Anions

Unconventional ionic liquid crystals in which the liquid crystallinity is enabled by halogen-bonded supramolecular anions [Cn F2 n+1 -I⋅⋅⋅I⋅⋅⋅I-Cn F2 n+1 ](-) are reported. The material system is unique in many ways, demonstrating for the first time 1) ionic, halogen-bonded liquid crystals, and 2) imidazolium-based ionic liquid crystals in which the occurrence of liquid crystallinity is not dri...

Multiple Hydrogen-Bonded Supramolecular Polymers

Three substituted 4-pyrazolylbenzoates: hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structures in one, two and three dimensions.

The molecules of ethyl 4-(5-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzoate, C13H15N3O2, are linked by two independent N-H...O hydrogen bonds into a chain of edge-fused and alternating R(4)2(8) and R(2)2(20) rings. A combination of N-H...N and N-H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules of methyl 4-(5-amino-3-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzoate, C15H19N3O2, into sheets of alternating R(2)2(20) and R(6)6...
