Novel Discotic Boroxines: Synthesis and Mesomorphic Properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new synthetic approach to highly substituted triphenylboroxines 11 is described. Their mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction (SAXS, WAXS). The tris(3,4,5-trialkyloxy)phenyl functionalized derivatives 11b-e showed broad mesophases for a minimum alkyl chain length of C9. The phase widths ranged from 110 K to 77 K near room temperature, thus decreasing with enhanced alkyl chain lengths. Textures observed under POM indicated a columnar hexagonal (Colh) mesophase symmetry that was confirmed by X-ray diffraction experiments.

A new truxene discotic liquid crystal possessing only three octyloxy chains (3C8OTRX) was studied on the mesomorphic and semiconducting properties to reveal that it exhibits a high drift mobility of positive carriers in the order of 10(-2) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in the hexagonal ordered columnar (Col(ho)) mesophase.
متن کاملBoroxine Chemistry: from Fundamental Studies to Applications in Supramolecular and Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Organoboroxine chemistry has recently received much attention because the boroxine formation reaction is a powerful tool for the construction of organized architectures. The reversible nature of this reaction may result in new materials that possess unprecedented levels of structural organization due to facilitation through self-correction, and switchable properties can be imparted by the react...
متن کاملA modular approach towards functional supramolecular aggregates - subtle structural differences inducing liquid crystallinity.
Herein we report an efficient modular approach to supramolecular functional materials. Hierarchical self-assembly of azopyridine derivatives and hydrogen-bond donors yielded discotic assemblies. Subtle differences in the core units introduced mesomorphic behaviour and fast photo-response of the liquid crystals based on phloroglucinol. The presented results prove the benefits of a modular method...
متن کاملSynthesis, mesomorphic and photophysical properties of novel triads and pentads of perylene liquid crystals with cholesterol units at the bay-position
Series of triads and pentads of perylene derivatives with two cholesterol units at the bay-position or four cholesterol units on both bay-position and imide position were designed and synthesized in yields of 55–65%. The influence of the different number and position of cholesterol substituents on mesomorphic properties and photophysical properties was studied. The results suggested that, in co...
