近几十年来,烟酸盐类化合物或配合物由于优越的吸收率高和无毒副作用等特点使其在化妆品、药品和食品等领域作为营养添加剂具有重要应用前景。然而,这类化合物的基础热力学数据极其缺乏,从而限制了这类化合物的理论研究和应用开发的深入开展。为此,本论文利用室温固相合成方法和球磨技术合成了一种新化合物Cu(Nic)2•H2O(s),利用化学分析、元素分析、FTIR和X-射线粉末衍射技术表征了它的结构和组成,利用精密自动绝热热量计准确地测量了它在78-400 K温区的摩尔热容。在热容曲线的T ＝ 326-346 K温区观察到一个明显的固-液相变过程。利用相变温区三次重复实验热容的测量结果确定了此相变过程的峰温、相变焓和相变熵分别为：Tfus＝(341.290 ±0.873) K, DfusHm＝(13.582±0.012) kJ×mol-1, DfusSm＝(39.797±0.067) J×K-1×mol-1。通过最小二乘法将相变前和相变后的热容实验值分别拟合成了热容对温度的两个多项式方程。通过热容多项式方程的数值积分,得到了这个化合物的舒平热容值和相对于298.15 K的各种热力学函数值,并且将每隔5 K的热力学函数值列成了表格。

Dynamic mechanical properties of poly-α-olefins containing ring structures in side chains

Dynamic loss modulus curves have been determined over a temperature range beginning at liquid nitrogen temperature for poly-α-olefin polymers containing various ring structures, i.e., phenyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, and naphthyl, in the side chain. Glass transition and appropriate secondary relaxation temperatures were observed for each polymer. Separation of each pendant ring structure from the main backbone chain by successive additions of methylene units results in lower glass-transition temperatures. Comparison of polymers with similar side chains and different ring structures shows that the respective glass-transition temperatures decrease in the order naphthyl > cyclohexyl > phenyl > cyclopentyl. Secondary relaxation peaks were obtained at about ?150°C for polymers containing the cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl rings. A similar peak was observed for the polymer possessing a phenyl ring separated from the main chain backbone by two methylene units. The comparable polymer containing the naphthyl ring structure exhibited a broad secondary relaxation peak centered at ?20°C. The polymers possessing cyclohexyl rings separated from the main chain backbone by one or two methylene units had an additional low temperature peak at ?80°C. The molecular mechanism associated with this relaxation may be related to intramolecular transformations of the cyclohexyl ring between its “chair–chair” conformations.     

Smectic liquid crystals. VIII. Some new laterally substituted smectic C compounds

Abstract

The synthesis and liquid crystal transition temperatures of a new class of compounds incorporating a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane ring have recently been reported. Many of these novel materials exhibit an enantiotropic smectic C mesophase over a wide temperature range and are suitable for commercial display device applications. The influence of several lateral substituents in various positions on the liquid crystal transition temperatures of these compounds has now been investigated systematically. A linear relationship between the size of the lateral substituent and the magnitude of the transition temperatures of various liquid crystal mesophases has been established for several of the series synthesized. A number of series incorporating a lateral substituent and an optically active centre have also been prepared and similar effects have been found.     

The preparation and liquid crystal properties of materials incorporating a mono-substituted ring system

The liquid crystal properties of a homologous series from methyl to heptyl of novel I-(trans-4-alkylcyclohexyl)-2-phenylethanes (PECH) are presented. These compounds are stable materials of low viscosity and low dielectric anisotropy incorporating the -CH,CH,- inter-ring linkage. Comparisons are made between the propyl homologue, PECH 3.H, and the commercial isomeric material PCH 3.2. The effect of replacing the trans-cyclohexane ring with a bicyclo(2.2.2)octane ring is discussed. A reversed PECH system, in which the alkyl chain is attached to the aromatic moiety (mono-substituted cyclohexane ring), was prepared. An analogous mono-substituted cyclopentane system was also investigated. The separation of two polar/highly polarisable functions in a molecule by a non-polar, non-conjugated group is known to have a detrimental effect on the liquid crystal thermal stability. A collection of data exemplifies this effect which is discussed simply in terms of molecular bonding principles.     

New liquid-crystalline isothiocyanates with high clearing points, low viscosities and strong nematic character

Bi-, tri- and tetra-ring liquid-crystalline compounds with an isothiocyanate group in the terminal position of the molecule and with an ethylene group in the central position have been synthesized. Phenyl, cyclohexyl, bicyclo[2,2,2]octyl, 1,3-dioxane and pyrimidinyl were used as the ring systems. Their transition temperatures and melting enthalpies have been determined. The relationship between the order of the rings in the molecule and the clearing points and melting points of the compounds is discussed. It is shown that these compounds are valuable components of liquid crystal mixtures, since they effectively raise their clearing points yet only have a small effect on the viscosity.     

Synthesis and physical properties of laterally fluorinated liquid crystals containing 1,3,2-dioxaborinane and cyclohexyl units

Six series of laterally fluorinated liquid crystals containing 1,3,2-dioxaborinane and cyclohexyl units have been synthesized and characterized. Their mesomorphic properties were characterized by polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. All these compounds are thermotropic liquid crystalline materials. All three-ring compounds (series A, B and C) and most four-ring compounds (series D, E and F) exhibit only a nematic phase, while some four-ring compounds with long terminal alkyl chains show nematic, smectic A and even smectic B phases. In addition, four compounds containing a 1,3-dioxane unit were prepared, and their mesomorphic properties compared with their 1,3,2-dioxaborinane analogues. The dielectric anisotropies of selected target compounds were determined; some showed a negative anisotropy. The relationships between the properties and chemical structures of these new compounds are discussed.     

The synthesis and liquid crystal transition temperatures of some weakly polar nematic methyl (E)-[trans-4-substituted-cyclohexyl]-allyl ethers

We have introduced an oxygen atom and a carbon-carbon double bond with a trans-configuration (E) into the terminal alkyl chain of a wide variety of liquid crystalline cyclohexane derivatives to produce a variety of new methyl (E)-allyl ethers. The melting points and tendency to form smectic mesophases are often low, while nearly all of the compounds prepared exhibit a nematic phase. Thus, even two-ring derivatives can exhibit nematic phases over a wide temperature range (≤80°C), sometimes starting below room temperature (T_m≈10°C). Comparisons with the corresponding derivatives incorporating either just an oxygen atom or just a carbon-carbon double bond in the same position indicate that synergetic effects lead to broader nematic phases than would otherwise have been expected. Thus many of the new methyl (E)-allyl ethers exhibit nematic phases over a wider temperature range than the corresponding materials with an unsubstituted alkyl chain attached to the cyclohexyl ring. The new compounds are easily prepared from known starting materials. Many intermediates are themselves liquid crystalline. This allows investigation of the relationship between liquid crystal transition temperatures and the nature of the terminally substituted alkyl chain (for example, incorporating C=C, OH, CO₂C₂H₅ and OCH₃ groups).     

The effect of a lateral methoxy group on the mesomorphic properties of ferroelectric liquid crystals

A new series of ferroelectric liquid crystal materials having the methoxy group substituted in an aromatic ring of the mesogenic core has been synthetized and characterized. This electron-donor methoxy group makes the ferroelectric S*_c phase narrower in range and monotropic when compared to the series with the unsubstituted molecules, the values of the spontaneous polarization remaining unaffected.     

Synthesis and characterization of thiophene-containing liquid crystals

Six series of liquid crystal materials containing a 2,5-disubstituted thiophene unit were synthesized. The liquid crystal compounds obtained were characterized by NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The properties of liquid crystalline phases were investigated as a function of spacer units, number of aromatic core rings and different terminal moieties. Cyano, methoxy and iodo groups were used as terminal groups. It is found that: (i) compounds having one thiophene ring and one phenyl ring connected by an ester group, with a length/breadth value of 2.1, exhibit no mesophase, while other compounds containing two biphenyl rings, with a length/breadth ratio of 2.7, show mesophases; (ii) the polarity of terminal groups and the flexible spacer length significantly affect the thermal behaviour of these compounds; (iii) the nematic transition range of cyano-containing compounds decreases with increasing length of the flexible spacer, and long alkenyloxy chains tend to facilitate the formation of the smectic phase and suppress the nematic phase in all the mesogenic compounds synthesized.
