Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Compounds with Lateral Long Chain Substituents (VII). X-Ray Studies in 1,4-Bis-(4-n-oetyloxybenzyoloxy)-2-n-alkylbenzenes

X-ray studies in substances with the general formula in the nematic states were performed. The results prove the existence of cybotactic groups despite the fact that the branched substances do not show smectogenic properties. We propose a model for the packing of the molecules, which explains the influence of the lengths of the lateral branches on the structure of the cybotactic groups.     

Influence of lateral branches on the properties of liquid crystalline 1,4-Bis-[4-n-hexylbenzoyloxy]-2-subst.-benzenes (II): connection between molecular structure and physical properties

In 8 1,4-bis-[4-n-hexylbenzoyloxy]-2-subst.-benzenes and one analogous hexylcyclohexanoyloxy compound the clearing temperatures, enthalpies, entropies, volumina and order parameters are considered with respect to the molecular structure and compared with predictions of molecular statistical theories. The results are in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions and show the predominant role of the steric repulsive forces in stabilizing the nematic state.     

Influence of lateral branches on the properties of liquid-crystalline 1,4-Bis-[4-n-hexylbenzoyloxy]-2-subst.-benzenes (I).: measurement of density,viscosity and optical anisotropy

8 compounds of the substance class of the 1,4-bis-[4-n-hexylbenzoyloxy]-2-subset.-benzenes and additionally 1,4-bis-[4-n-hexyleyclohexanoyloxy]-2-ethylbenzene were sythesized and density, viscosity and optical refractive indices were measured in the nematic and isotropic state. The lateral branching causes decrease of the melting and clearing temperatures, diminishing of the optical anisotropy and order parameter, but increase of the viscosity.

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-ylmethyl)perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile: X-ray crystal structure

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-Cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-ylmethyl) perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile (1) has been synthesized by reac- tion of p-cyanobenzene diazonium chloride with a mixture of formaldehyde and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine. The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (1) does not adopt a folded conformation, unlike previously studied ethylenediamine analogues, and there is no indication of -stacking in the crystal packing. The dominant interaction between molecules is the van der Waal's attraction between cyclohexane rings. This result establishes the structure of the product of this diazonium coupling reaction as the 1-(1-imidazolidinylmethyl)imidazolidine derivative and not the alternate tetraazabicyclo[4.4.1]undecane derivative.

Mesomorphic properties of liquid crystalline compounds with chalconyl central linkage in two phenyl rings

In order to investigate the influence of the central linking group and the effect of flexibility on mesomorphism, we have synthesised a newly homologous series 3-(3-butoxyphenyl)-1-(4-n-alkoxy phenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (series-l) consisting of 13 homologues C₁–C₈, C₁₀, C₁₂, C₁₄, C₁₆ and C₁₈. In the present series, mesophase commences from the C₆ homologue. C₁–C₅ homologues did not exhibit liquid crystalline (LC) property, while C₆–C₁₂ homologues exhibited an enantiotropic nematic phase and the rest of the homologues C₁₄–C₁₈ displayed monotropic SmC and nematic mesophase. The transition temperatures of the synthesised compounds were determined by an optical polarising microscopy equipped with a heating stage. All newly synthesised compounds were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, IR and elemental analysis.
