The splay and bend elastic constants of the bent-core oxadiazole material [C5-Ph-ODBP-Ph-OC12] have been investigated as a function of temperature across the nematic phase. The bend constant K(33) is found to take values of ~3.0 pN and to be almost temperature independent, whereas, the splay constant K(11) increases monotonically from ~3.5 pN close to the isotropic phase transition to values of...

In the title compound, C(36)H(30)N(6)O(3)S(3), the phenyl rings are twisted from the attached oxadiazole rings in the three arms by 1.5(2), 2.4 (2) and 25.7 (2)°. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions.

in the last three decades investigations in the field of oxadiazoles have been intensified due to their diverse therapeutic uses. oxadiazole are well known to have a wide range of therapeutic activities namely anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, anticonvulsant, antiparasitic, antimicrobial etc. in this study, we have evaluated the antimicrobial activity of some carboxymethyl derivatives ...

A new series of 5-(indole-2-yl)-3-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activities. Structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. Structural modifications were done to improve the antiproliferative activity of compound 1. The results indicated that a benzyloxyl substituent on the C-4 position was better than a methyl substituent...

New photoluminescent donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) molecules, namely 5'-aryl-substituted 2,5-bis(3-decyl-2,2'-bithiophen-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were prepared by palladium-catalyzed coupling from readily available compounds such as ethyl 3-decyl-2,2'-bithiophene-5-carboxylate and aryl halides. The obtained compounds feature increasing bathochromic shifts in their emission spectra with increasing a...
