Crystal Region

The temperatures and enthalpy changes pertinent to the fusion and clearing processes in the linear cesium alkanoates from tridecanoate to eicosanoate were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The present information along with data previously taken on the lower homologs allows one to draw the boundaries of the region where cesium soaps can exist in the liquid crystal state.

Alkyl Chains

Six S,S-dialkyl acetals 2a-f of inosose (1), tripodal in structure, have been synthesized, characterized and investigated by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). The four S,S-acetals 2c-f with sufficiently long alkyl chains are thermotropic liquid crystalline; 2 e and 2 f are even dithermomesomorphic. Each of these four inosose derivatives 2c-f exhibits monotropically a most likely cubic mesophase (MI); in addition 2e and 2f show enantiotropically a hexagonal mesophase (Hx) with a non-covalent, supramolecular H-bridge architecture. Whereas the nature of the optically isotropic mesophase MI needs further clarification the stable high temperature mesophase Hx of 2 e and 2 f has been established by a miscibility test using a sugar S,S-dialkyl acetal also tripodal in structure and with a Hx phase proved by X-ray diffraction, but in contrast to 2 with an acyclic hydrophilic part. Similarities of structural features between the Hx-phases of 2e and 2f as well as of other thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal systems are discussed briefly.

{1-[4-( n-Alkoxy)]-2-(4’-decyloxy)benzylidene}hydrazines ( n-alkoxy = O(CH2) nH, n = 1–9, 12, 16 or 18), an asymmetrical series of 1,2-disubstituted hydrazines, were prepared in a simple two-step procedure as a part of our continuing work in evaluating hydrophobic azine compounds as photoluminescent liquid crystalline materials. The compounds were characterized spectroscopically and their liquid crystalline behaviour and luminescent properties were evaluated using polarized light optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction techniques. The studies revealed that all of these compounds are liquid crystalline materials exhibiting photoluminescent properties in the crystalline and liquid crystal states.

A bent-core liquid crystal compound N,N-bis (4-propoxybenzylidene)benzene- 1,3-diamine was synthesized. Phase transition properties of the synthesized compound with the deferent heating rate were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. , respectively. Our results demonstrated that the bent-core compound exhibited the completely undivided multi-phases in heating-rate ranges from 1oC/min to 6oC/min while it showed a broad-peak crystal phase in higher heating-rate ranges of 7-10oC/min for the first heating.

Crystal Transition

The synthesis of Ru2(μ-O2CR)4(μ´-O2CR) (1), R = -CH2(CH2)6CH=CH(CH2)5CH3, has been achieved and characterization using elemental analysis and FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopies undertaken. Strong evidence for a hexagonal discotic mesophase has been found using differential scanning calorimetry, variable-temperature polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. A solid to liquid crystal transition was found upon heating at 128°C and the mesophase is found to persist to room temperature upon cooling from 150°C. This is the first report of room temperature mesomorphism in a mixed-valent metallomesogen. Key words: ruthenium carboxylate, liquid crystal, metallomesogen, mixed valence, polymer.

Mesomorphic Properties

A series of cholesterol liquid crystal compounds was synthesized. Phase-transition temperatures and mesomorphic textures of these synthesized compounds were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy, respectively. In these molecules the terminal ester chains CnH2n-1COO-, where n was the number of carbon atoms in the terminal ester chains, were linked to the cholesterol core. All of the synthesized cholesterol compounds exhibited mesophases for the first heating. However, as temperature decreased from their clearing points, their micrographs can also be divided into two categories, the first category exhibits branch-like mesophase textures for n in the range of 1-10 while the second category exhibits branch-like crystal textures for n in the range of 11-18.

Dsc Method

We performed an experiment to characterize the four samples of main chain liquid crystal elastomers (MCLCEs) by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. Basic principle of this method is that difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. The temperature between the sample and reference is maintained nearly the same throughout the experiment. There were four samples with different concentrations of crosslinker we have taken, namely 8%, 12%, 14%, and 16%. The results showed that the phase transition from nematic to isotropic obtained by this method had correlation with their thermo-mechanical effects.
