Structure of a disk-like mesophase
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 We have obtained X-ray diffraction patterns from the mesomorphic phase of two derivatives of terphenylene. The observations agree with the structure already proposed for the mesomorphic phase of a similar molecule : the molecules are stacked in columns and the columns form a regular hexagonal array. In addition it is possible to give a more accurate description of the positions of the terphenyl groups in a column. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE LETTRES TOME 40, 15 FÉVRIER 1979

A π-Extended Donor-Acceptor-Donor Triphenylene Twin Linked via a Pyrazine Bridge.
β-Amino triphenylenes can be accessed via palladium catalyzed amination of the corresponding triflate using benzophenone imine. Transformation of amine 6 to benzoyl amide 18 is also straightforward, and its wide mesophase range demonstrates that the new linkage supports columnar liquid crystal formation. Amine 6 also undergoes clean aerobic oxidation to give a new twinned structure linked throu...
متن کاملFrustrated structure of an anticlinic-like smectic-C phase.
We present a polarising optical microscopy study of the low-temperature anticlinic-like tilted mesophase of the liquid-crystal compound octylphenyl-2-chloro-4-(p-cyano-benzoyloxy) (DB8Cl). This mesophase has been described as a bilayer smectic structure in which the molecules within each layer are organised in an anticlinic way. The optical textures observed in samples with planar orientation s...
متن کاملDifferences in structure of mesophase spheres prepared through homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation
Mesophase spheres were prepared through homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation from two coal tar pitches with some and nearly without quinoline insolubles. The pitches suffered thermal condensation in a stainless steel reactor at 440 and 410 for 1 or 7h, respectively. SEM was introduced as a useful tool to detect the structures of the two kinds of mesophase spheres. As a result of the paper, ...
متن کاملStructure and physical stability of hydrates and thermotropic mesophase of calcium benzoate.
The aim of this study is to investigate the hydration and the dehydration processes of calcium benzoate hydrates (trihydrate and monohydrate), thermotropic mesophases (dehydrated mesophase and lyophilized mesophase) and amorphous state, and the influence of their molecular order on those processes. X-ray analysis revealed that trihydrate has a planar structure composed of two types of planes-on...
متن کاملNature of the mesophase of a conducting charge transfer complex : neither discotic nor calamitic
2014 We describe the structure of the mesophase of a conducting charge transfer complex formed by a donor substituted by four long paraffinic chains and TCNQ as acceptor. In the mesophase the donor cores remain in stacks with a short core-to-core distance (3.6 A). The presence of paraffinic chains favours a layer structure, the stacks being localized in the lamellae and TCNQ likely filling the ...
