Discotic liquid crystals stabilized by interionic interactions: imidazolium ion-anchored paraffinic triphenylene.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Poster 71 New Discotic Triphenylene Derivatives exhibiting a Cholesteric Blue Phase and Ferroelectric Switching in Columnar Mesophases
Since a very early stage of discotic liquid crystal research, triphenylene derivatives are known to be useful materials for the study of discotic liquid crystals. Recently, their importance as photoconducting materials was recognized [1]. Blue phases had only been observed in binary mixtures [2, 3]. It took over ten years to experimentally verify [4] J. Prost’s prediction of ferroelectricity in...
متن کاملNovel conducting nanocomposites: synthesis of triphenylene-covered gold nanoparticles and their insertion into a columnar matrix
Gold nanoparticles fully covered with triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) were synthesized and dispersed in a columnar matrix. The thermophysical properties of these nanocomposites, studied using polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and small angle X-ray diffraction studies (SAXS), confirm their insertion into the columnar matrix. The presence of the g...
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-organization of star-shaped columnar liquid crystals with a coaxial nanophase segregation revealed by a combined experimental and simulation approach.
Fully consistent X-ray data and molecular dynamics simulations on new star-shaped liquid crystals yield two nanosegregated architectures with a coaxial stacking of two functional discotic units: tris(triazolyl)triazine and triphenylene. Analysis of lattice order along the principal axes reveals preferential staggered arrangement of the stacked molecules in the columnar assembly.
متن کاملModulation of phase behaviors and charge carrier mobilities by linkage length in discotic liquid crystal dimers.
A clear structure-property relationship was revealed in a series of triphenylene-based dimers, which contained two triphenylene nuclei each bearing five β-OC4H9 substituents and are linked through a flexible O(CH2)nO polymethylene chain (n=6-12). Dimers with the linkage close to twice the length of the free side chains (n=8, 9) exhibited a single Colhp phase, while others with the linkage short...
