Alkyl-bis(imidazolium) salts: a new amphiphile platform that forms thermotropic and non-aqueous lyotropic bicontinuous cubic phases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
New ionic amphiphiles with a hexyl-bridged bis(imidazolium) headgroup; Br(-), BF4(-), or Tf2N(-) anions; and a long n-alkyl tail can form thermotropic bicontinuous cubic liquid crystal phases in neat form and/or lyotropic bicontinuous cubic phases with several non-aqueous solvents or water.

Discovery of a tetracontinuous, aqueous lyotropic network phase with unusual 3D-hexagonal symmetry.
Network phase aqueous lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are technologically useful materials with myriad applications in chemistry, biology, and materials science, which stem from their structurally periodic aqueous and hydrophobic nanodomains (∼0.7-5.0 nm in diameter) that are lined with well-defined chemical functionalities. The exclusive observation of bicontinuous cubic network phase LLCs (e...
متن کاملNonionic diethanolamide amphiphiles with isoprenoid-type hydrocarbon chains: thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behaviour.
The thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behaviour of a series of diethanolamide amphiphiles with isoprenoid-type hydrocarbon chains (geranoyl, H-farnesoyl, and phytanoyl) has been investigated. When neat, both H-farnesoyl and phytanoyl diethanolamide form a smectic liquid crystalline structure at sub-zero temperatures. In addition, all three diethanolamides exhibit a glass trans...
متن کاملUnexpected role of linker position on ammonium gemini surfactant lyotropic gyroid phase stability.
Arising from the water-driven self-assembly of amphiphiles over generally narrow temperature and composition phase windows, aqueous lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) network phases are useful in applications as therapeutic delivery vehicles and templates for mesoporous material syntheses. While a clear set of amphiphile design rules that enables access to these intricate three-dimensional structur...
متن کاملNew mesophases formed by water soluble discoidal amphiphiles
2014 We present the first examples of lyotropic discotic nematic and columnar (hexagonal) mesophases obtained by dissolution of non-ionic, disk-like amphiphilic mesogens (hexa-polyethyleneoxy derivatives of triphenylene) in water. The phenomenon of « solvent driven aggregation » is shown to be a practicable route to new and novel mesophases with structures and properties intermediate to and enc...
متن کاملAqueous phase behaviour of choline carboxylate surfactants — exceptional variety and extent of cubic phases †
Choline carboxylate surfactants are powerful alternatives to the well-known classical alkali soaps, since they exhibit substantially increased water solubility while maintaining biocompatibility, in contrast to simple quaternary ammonium ions. In the present study, we report the aqueous binary phase diagrams and a detailed investigation of the lyotropic liquid crystalline phases formed by choli...
