Reversible Broad‐Spectrum Control of Selective Reflections of Chiral Nematic Phases by Closed‐/Open‐Type Axially Chiral Azo Dopants
We demonstrate reversible RGB-color photocontrol of a chiral nematic liquid crystal (N*LC) by using newly synthesized closed- and open-type chiral dopants. The photoswitching elements in the dopants are azobenzene units on axially chiral binaphthyl cores. Owing to cis-trans photoisomerization of the azobenzene units, both closed- and open-type compounds showed higher solubility, larger helical ...
متن کاملDirector Structures in a Chiral Nematic Slab: Threshold Field and Pitch Variations
Abstract The liquid crystal director distribution is determined for a confined chiral nematic slab. The molecular director distribution of the field-controlled chiral nematic slab is directly calculated. The director profiles for the tilt and the twist angles, under different applied fields, are calculated in the slab with weak boundary conditions. Then, the dependence of the threshold field on...

Three calamitic molecules with axially chiral cores, (S)-3,9-bis[(4-dodecyloxybenzoyl)oxy]-1,11dimethyl-5,7-dihydrodibenzo[c,e]thiepin (5a), (R)-3,9-bis[(4-butoxybenzoyl)oxy]-1,11-dimethyl5,7-dihydrodibenzo[c,e]thiepin (5b), and (R)-3,9-bis[(4-octyloxybenzoyl)oxy]-1,11-dimethyl-5,7dihydrodibenzo[c,e]thiepin (5c), were synthesized in optically pure form and doped in four calamitic liquid crystal...
متن کاملReview High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of drugs containing multiple chiral centers on chiral stationary phases
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemistry and pharmaceutical industry. High-performance liquid Chromatography is a very useful method for the direct separation of enantiomers. However, about 30−40 years ago, commercially available chiral stationary phases wer...
متن کاملSelf-assembled chiral superstructures composed of rigid achiral molecules and molecular scale chiral induction by dopants.
We explore the phase behavior of a rigid achiral bent-core model system. Nematic and smectic phases form at higher densities, whereas micelles and columns composed of chiral clusters of these molecules self-assemble at lower densities. No nucleation mechanism requiring transient chirality is possible in the formation of these chiral superstructures due to the rigid achiral nature of the substit...
