Mesomorphic Properties of an Homologous Series of Thioalkyl-Terminated Azomesogens
نویسنده
چکیده
A new homologous series (ten compounds) of 2-hydroxy azo compounds SR(n) (where n:1-10) were synthesized. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques such as IR (Infrared), (1)H-NMR as well as elemental analysis. Mesomorphic properties and phase transitions were studied using polarized hot stage optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and are discussed as a function of the number of carbon atoms in the thioalkyl chain. It has been found that all compounds in the series are pure nematogens.

Tuning the mesomorphic properties of phenoxy-terminated smectic liquid crystals: the effect of fluoro substitution.
The mesomorphic properties of phenoxy-terminated 5-alkoxy-2-(4-alkoxyphenyl)pyrimidine liquid crystals can be tuned in a predictable fashion with fluoro substituents on the phenoxy end-group. We show that an ortho-fluoro substituent promotes the formation of a tilted smectic C (SmC) phase whereas a para-fluoro substituent promotes the formation of an orthogonal smectic A (SmA) phase. The balanc...

A homologous series of aromatic esters, 4-nalkanoyloxybenzylidene-4’-bromoanilines, nABBA, consisting of two 1,4-disubstituted phenyl cores and a Schiff base central linkage was synthesized. All the members can be differed by the number of carbon atoms at terminal alkanoyloxy chain (CnH2n-1COO-, n = 2, 6, 18). The molecular structure of nABBA was confirmed with infrared spectroscopy, nuclear ma...

Three homologous series of polymethylene-a,i<;-bis[2-thio-5(4’,4'’n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)phenyl]-l,3,4-oxadiazole (series 5 a, b, c), are reported.The compounds have identical mesogenic units at both ends of a spacer (i.e. they are twins). These twins possess a spacer of 6, 8 and 10 carbon atoms joined directly to the oxadiazole ring through sulphur atoms. The lateral alkylic chains vary between 6 ...
متن کاملLow mid-infrared absorption tolane liquid crystals terminated by 2,2-difluorovinyloxyl: synthesis, characterization and properties
The synthesis and characterization of new 2,2-difluorovinyloxyl terminated tolane liquid crystals are reported. The mesomorphic properties, mid-wave infrared (MWIR) absorption and birefringence were investigated. The results show that these materials exhibit low absorption loss, a wide nematic phase range, a low melting point and high birefringence. The influences of fluorine substitution and t...
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...
