Structure of the Mesophases Formed by a Perfluoroalkyl/Biphenyl Compound. Amphiphilic and Steric Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the synthesis and mesomorphic behaviour of 4-(lH,lH-perfluorooctyloxy)4'-methoxy biphenyl. Two mesophases of smectic E and smectic A types were observed. X-ray diffraction study of the smectic E phase indicates a herringbone arrangement of

A Density Functional Theory Study of Structure of Phosphonic Acid
The molecular structure of the stable conformation of phosphonic acid in gas phase has beencomputed by employing complete geometry optimization in Density Functional Theory(DFT) methods. The methods used for calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that havebeen studied in two series of basis sets: D95** and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygenatoms; LANL2DZ for phosphorus. Bond lengths and angle...
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 کاملTricontinuous mesophases of balanced three-arm ‘star polyphiles’
We construct simple models to compare ordered tricontinuous patterns that are topologically consistent with the constraints imposed by three-arm star polyphile self-assembly, analogous to steric packing and elastic bending models used to analyse bicontinuous mesophases in amphiphilic assemblies. We find a number of competing low-energy ordered structures, composed of threading of three identica...
متن کاملHierarchically structured biphenylene-bridged periodic mesoporous
Novel composites of highly ordered and stable biphenyl-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) materials confined within the pores of anodic alumina membranes (AAM) were successfully synthesized by evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). 4,40-Bis(triethoxysilyl)biphenyl (BTEBP) was used as a precursor in combination with the ionic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or tri...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of on the effects of Hydrokinetic turbine presence in flow structure of a compound open-channel
In the recent years, due to the hydropower plants environmental problems, hydrokinetic turbine usages has been increased. Using such turbines in rivers modify natural flow-field. In previous studies, impacts of turbine on the flow-field just only in rectangular open-channel is studied. In this work, the effects of hydrokinetic turbine in a straight compound channel has been numerically studied ...
