Probing the structural factors influencing columnar mesophase formation and stability in triphenylene discotics.

چکیده
Series of structurally related substituted triphenylene derivatives were designed and synthesised to interrogate key features which determine mesophase formation and stability, and to challenge the general conclusions previously proposed by us and others. It is apparent that no single, simple principle can be universally applied.

Board-like dibenzo[fg,op]naphthacenes: synthesis, characterization, self-assembly, and liquid crystallinity†
Although the majority of small molecules exhibiting liquid crystal phases can be described as either rod-like (calamitic) or disc-like (discotic), many exceptions are known, underscoring the potential of other structural classes to exhibit new and unusual phase behavior. Board-like (“sanidic”) compounds have long represented an interesting class of potential mesogens with proposed applications ...
متن کاملDiscotic liquid crystals stabilized by interionic interactions: imidazolium ion-anchored paraffinic triphenylene.
Incorporation of imidazolium ion functionalities into the paraffinic side-chain termini of a triphenylene derivative resulted in stabilization of a columnar mesophase of its liquid crystalline assembly, which was retained over a wider temperature range down to 4 degrees C by an externally added imidazolium-based ionic liquid.

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 کاملTriphenylene discotic liquid crystal trimers synthesized by Co2(CO)8-catalyzed terminal alkyne [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition
The synthesis of star-shaped discotic liquid crystal trimers using Co2(CO)8-catalyzed terminal alkyne [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is reported. The trimers consist of three triphenylene discotic units linked to a central 1,2,4-trisubstituted benzene ring via flexible spacers. The trimers were synthesized in the yields up to 70% by mixing the monomers with 10 mol % of Co2(CO)8 as the catal...
متن کاملSelf-assembly and mesophase formation in a non-ionic chromonic liquid crystal system: insights from dissipative particle dynamics simulations.
Results are presented from a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation of a model non-ionic chromonic system, TP6EO2M, composed of a poly(ethylene glycol) functionalised aromatic (triphenylene) core. The simulations demonstrate self-assembly of chromonic molecules to form single molecule stacks in solution at low concentrations, the formation of a nematic mesophase at higher concentrations...
