Compounds with two mesogenic groups without terminal alkyl chains or other groups containing thiophene systems have been prepared from α.ω-bis(5-formyl-2-thienyl)alkanes (series 1) and various phosphonium salts by Wittig-reaction. The chemical structures of the new compounds have been characterized by their elemental analyses, IR and 1H NMR spectra and MS. The liquid crystalline properties of these compounds were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing microscopy. Mesogenic cores with one thiophene system and two benzene systems give rise to liquid crystalline phases. These compounds with one vinylene group in each core (series 2 and 3) are mostly monotropic, those with two or three vinylene groups are enantiotropic liquid crystalline. Exchanging one vinylene group by a azomethine group in each core reduces the temperature range of the mesophase or destroys the liquid crystallinity completely. In contrast to E,E-1-(5-butyl-2-thienylvinyl)-4-(styryl)benzene (9) with no mesophase the corresponding all-E-α.ω-bis{5-[4-(4-styryl)styryl]-2-thienyl}alkanes (series 5) show over a wide temperature range with increasing inner chain length more and more high ordered mesophases. all-E-α.ω-Bis{5-[4-(4-phenylbuta-1.3-dienyl)styryl]-2-thienyl}alkanes (series 7) decompose in their mesophases.

Bisphenol of 4,4’-dihydroxy-N-benzylidene-4-aminophenol containing azomethine group was synthesized via condensation of an aromatic amine namely 4-aminophenol with p-hydroxybenz aldehyde. It’s epoxy derivate and epicholorohydrin produced the new liquid crystalline diglycidyl ether of 4,4’-dihydroxy-N-benzylidene-4-aminophenol. A new type of liquid crystalline epoxy and azoemthine hardening agent are characterized at 300°C for 10 min, using c11z as a catalyst. The chemical structures were confirmed by FT-IR,1H-NMR. The curing reaction with 4,4’-dihydroxy-N-benzylidene-4-aminophenol were carried out in the ratio of glycidyl ether of 4,4’-dihydroxy-N-benzy lidene-4-aminophenol/azomethine hardening 1:0.8. The degree of crystallinity studied by X-ray diffractometer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscope (POM).

A new class of three-armed star-shaped liquid crystals 5a-5d were synthesized, they used 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene as a core, ω-[4-(p-ethoxybenzoloxy) phenoxycarbonyalkyl acid (3a, 3b) and ω-[4-(p-nitrobenzoloxy) phenoxycarbonyalkyl acid (3c, 3d) as mesogenic arms. Their chemical structures were confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectra. The mesomorphic properties and phase behavior were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) measurements. The results showed that the three-armed star-shaped liquid crystals exhibited a broad range of liquid crystalline phases at moderate temperature. The mesogenic arm structures obviously affected the phase behavior. As the intermedius alkyl chain of the star-shaped compounds lengthened (from n=4 to n=8), their melting points decreased but mesomorphic temperature ranges increased. The temperatures when 5% weight loss occurred (td) were higher than 300°C, which revealed that the synthesized three-armed liquid crystals had a high thermal stability. Threadlike, droplet and schlieren texture, typical of nematic phase can be observed in the liquid crystalline state during heating or cooling process.

AbstractNew 4,7-bis(arylamino)-2-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosylimino-1,3,5,6-dithiadiazepines were synthesized via reaction of N-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl isocyanodichloride with 1,6-diaryl-2,5-dithio-bis-ureas without using any catalyst. Thus, the synthesis of 7-membered heterocycles containing two sulfur and two nitrogen atoms through carbon-sulfur bond formation was explored. The chemical structures of these new compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectral, and elemental analyses.

The new series of ten 4,4'-bis(5-alkyl-2-thienylcarbonyloxy)azobenzenes (2a -2j) and ten 2,5-bis(5-alkyl-2-thienylcarbonyloxy)toluenes (3a -3j) were prepared. These, as yet unknown esters were characterized in relation to their structures by elemental analyses, IR, UV, 1H NMR spectra and MS. The azobenzene-esters 2a -2j which form liquid crystalline phases were studied by microscopy under polarized light and DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). Through the observation of the optical textures nematic phases were monitored. Only 2j has an additional smectic phase; 2h and 2i form monotropic smectic phases during cooling. The toluene-esters 3a -3j do not form liquid crystalline phases.

Methylene-bridged tetra- and octa-alkylthia substituted metal free- and Ni ( II ) phthalocyanines were synthesized from the corresponding phthalonitrile derivatives in the presence of the anhydrous metal salt ( NiCl 2) or a strong organic base. The new compounds were fully characterized by elemental analyses, UV-vis, IR, NMR and mass spectra. The mesogenic properties of these materials were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction investigations. X-ray diffraction patterns of the mesophase confirmed that the tetra- and the octa-substituted compounds formed hexagonal columnar mesophases (Colh). The mesogenic properties of these compounds were compared to that of their octa alkythia substituted phthalocyanine derivatives in the literature.

Peripheral and non-peripheral tetra(13,17-dioxanonacosane-15-hydroxy) substituted metal free-, Ni (II) and Zn (II) phthalocyanines have been synthesized from the corresponding phthalonitrile derivatives in the presence of the anhydrous metal salt ( NiCl 2 and Zn ( OOCCH 3)2) or a strong organic base. The new compounds have been characterised by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, mass spectra and electronic spectroscopy. The mesogenic properties of these new materials were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical polarised microscopy and X-ray investigations. The effects of peripheral or non-peripheral substitution of (13,17-dioxanonacosane-15-hydroxy) to the phthalocyanine ring are also investigated. It is found out that non-peripheral substituted phthalocyanine derivatives (4a-c) are liquid at room temperature whereas, peripheral substituted phthalocyanine derivatives (7a-c) exhibit ordered discotic hexagonal columnar mesophases ( Col h) at room temperature.

A new kind of bowl-shaped liquid crystals were designed and synthesized by esterification. They used a calix[6]arene as central unit and ω- cholesteric alkyl diacid monoester as mesogenic arms. Their chemical structures were confirmed by FTIR and 1HNMR spectra, their mesomorphic properties and phase behavior were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements. The results showed that the kind of calix[6]arene bowl-shaped liquid crystals N1-N3 exhibited broad range liquid crystalline phases at moderate temperature, and they displayed cholesteric phase focal-conic texture in liquid crystal states. With increasing the flexibility of monomers M1-M3, the melting point and the clearing temperature decreased in the macromolecules.

The synthesis of well-defined organic molecules with unique geometries opens new opportunities for understanding and controlling the organization of condensed matter. Here, we study dendrimers and macrocycles which are synthesized from rigid phenyl-acetylene spacer units, Both units are solubilized by the presence of tertiary butyl groups located at the periphery of the molecule. These hydrocarbon materials form crystalline and liquid crystalline phases which have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, hot stage optical microscopy, and wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS).The precisely defined architecture of these molecules makes it possible to investigate systematic variations in chemical architecture on the nature of microstructural organization. Here we report on the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) studies of crystalline thin films formed by deposition of these materials onto carbon substrates from dilute solution. Electron microscopy is very attractive for gaining structural information on new molecules due to the scarcity of material to grow single crystals suitable for conventional crystallography.

AbstractA diamine monomer containing ester, amide and ether functional groups was prepared and its polymerization reaction with different diisocyanates to give main chain poly(ester amide ether urea)s was investigated. The monomer was synthesized via reaction of terephthaloyl chloride with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and subsequent reaction of the resulted diacid with 1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane. The polymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopic method and elemental analysis. The resulting polymers exhibited excellent solubility in polar solvents. Crystallinity of the resulted polymers was evaluated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) method, and they exhibited semi-crystalline patterns. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the polymers determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) were in the range of 88-112 °C. The temperatures for 10% weight loss (T10) from their thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves were found to be in the range of 297-312 °C in air. Also the prepared polyureas showed liquid crystalline character.
