由氢键引导的、经强制可控折叠形成的含孔折叠分子结构

受蛋白折叠现象的启发,发展出了一类基于芳香寡聚酰胺的分子折叠体系。研究发现苯环单元带有邻位烷氧基的芳酰胺寡聚体,可经由高度稳定的分子内3中心氢键,使原本可自由转动的酰胺和芳环间的单键受到限制,导致整个分子骨架的平面及刚性化,并折叠成为向一侧弯曲的构象。不同长度的寡聚酰胺分子,在3中心氢键的引导与强制下折叠形成含有内部孔穴的弯月形或螺旋结构。进一步研究表明这些分子所含的内孔是非常稳定的。由于此类折叠分子骨架的刚性及其构象的稳定性,其内孔尺度大小可通过引入不同）间位及对位）取代的苯环单元,以调节寡聚酰胺骨架的弯曲度,从而加以精确调控。基于此策略,制备了中心孔径从9到30的弯月形或螺旋结构。稍后的研究发现,利用分子内3中心氢键的引导与强制作用,可实现具有同类芳酰胺骨架的刚性大环的一步高效合成。主要简介在芳香寡聚酰胺的强制可控折叠,及其应用于弯月形、螺旋折叠分子以及大环分子的制备方面的研究。     

Synthesis of novel liquid crystal compounds with aromatic amide mesogenic cores

The synthesis and properties of a new series of compounds having aromatic amide mesogenic cores are reported. Most of these new compounds are thermotropic mesogens. In consideration of the fact that aromatic amides form crystals of high melting point which is unfavourable for the formation of thermotropic liquid crystals, we make use of lateral substitution to decrease both the packing efficiency and the hydrogen bonding, so that the melting temperature of the aromatic amides is sufficiently depressed. The lateral substituent used in these new compounds is bromine. In order to investigate the influence on properties of the end groups, different alkoxy, alkyl and other groups are used at the two ends of the rod-like molecules. The two ends are either identical or different, with an electron-donating alkoxy as one end and the electron-accepting cyano group as the other. The results indicate that appropriate lateral and terminal substitution is essential for the aromatic amides to form thermotropic liquid crystals. The peculiar mesophase characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern of a SmC phase, but a texture of a nematic phase is also noted.

Amide,urea and thiourea‐containing triphenylene derivatives: influence of H‐bonding on mesomorphic properties

The synthesis and thermotropic properties are reported for a series of hexaalkoxytriphenylenes that contain an amide, urea or thiourea group in one of their alkoxy tails. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding abilities of these molecules have a disturbing influence on the formation and stability of the columnar liquid crystalline phases. The stronger the hydrogen bonding the more the liquid crystallinity is suppressed, probably due to disturbance of the π–π stacking of the triphenylene discs. As a direct result, urea‐ and amide‐containing triphenylene derivatives are not liquid crystalline, but several thiourea derivatives show hexagonal columnar mesophases.     

Studies on thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer. XI. Effect of amide group on thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer properties

A series of poly(azomethine)s containing amide, ether, or ester groups was prepared by the condensation of dialdehydes with various diamines. The thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were examined by DSC and microscopic observations. The effects of the number and position of amide groups, which are attached to the rigid segment, on the thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of the homo-and copoly(amide-azomethine-ether)s were also investigated in this study. The copolymerization took place by changing the amount of amide group to obtain copoly(amide-azomethine) ( P13 and P14 ) which exhibit thermotropic liquid crystalline properties. The poly(azomethine)s containing ether or ester groups also exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline properties. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Liquid crystalline 3-, 4- and 6-armed star molecules based on nitromethane-trispropanol or pentaerythritol without mesogen spacers

Some molecules of unusual shape and apparently non-linear geometry, with mesogens tied directly to a central unit (for example, tetrahedral pentaerythritol), have been investigated for liquid crystalline behaviour. It was found that these three-, four- and six-armed 'star' molecules generated liquid crystalline mesophases, which were characterized by DSC, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The temperature ranges of the fluid mesophases for the thermotropic compounds were above 158°C for the three-armed molecules and above 219°C for the four-and six-armed 'stars'. All the liquid crystalline compounds exhibited a smectic phase, which appears to be smectic A, with the molecules in their fully extended conformations within the layers. Some of the compounds also had a smectic phase of higher order or a nematic phase.     

Amide, urea and thiourea-containing triphenylene derivatives: influence of H-bonding on mesomorphic properties

Liquid crystalline glycosteroids and acyl steroid glycosides (ASG)

ABSTRACT

As part of our studies on glycolipidic liquid crystals, we have investigated some molecules comprising a steroid moiety. These systems can exhibit several types of structures depending on their polarity pattern based on the number of polar and non-polar moieties and their resulting molecular shape. Therefore, to aid describing such systems, we have proposed a specific classification based on this polarity pattern. Many compounds in this family are natural products, which possess important biological properties. Some of the compounds have bolaphilic structures, with both a steroid and a fatty alkyl chain attached to the carbohydrate moiety, such as either the β-galactoside BbGL-1 or the α-glucoside α-CAG that are found in the membranes of the pathogens Borrelia burgdorferi and Helicobacter pylori, respectively. In this account, after a brief introduction on liquid crystalline glycolipids, we focus on carbohydrate–steroid hybrids, summarising our previous work on glycosteroids prepared by the CMGL-synthon strategy, and reporting our preliminary results on the thermotropic behaviour of acyl steroid glycosides (ASG), namely cholesteryl 6-O-acyl-β-gluco- and -galacto-pyranosides.
