Synthesis, structure and mesomorphic properties of side-chain chiral liquid crystalline polysiloxanes based on (S)-(+)-2-methyl-1-butanol derivatives

The synthesis of five chiral liquid crystalline monomers (M₁-M₅), and their corresponding side-chain polymers (P₁-P₅) based on (S)-(+)-2-methyl-1-butanol derivatives is described. The chemical structures of the monomers were confirmed by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, and elemental analyses. The structure-property relationships of the monomers and polymers obtained are discussed. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. All monomers showed a cholesteric phase. For M₂, M₃, and M₅, besides a cholesteric phase and a smectic A (S_A) phase, M₂ also revealed an enantiotropic chiral smectic C phase and a monotropic smectic B (S_B) phase, and M₃ also showed a S_B phase. The polymers P₁-P₅ exhibited a S_A phase, moreover, P₂, P₃ and P₅ also revealed a phase. The experimental results demonstrated that a flexible siloxane backbone and a long flexible spacer tended to exhibit a low glass transition temperature, high thermal stability, and wide mesophase temperature range.     

Cluster synchronization in a network of non-identical dynamic systems

Cluster synchronization in a network of non-identical dynamic systems is studied in this paper, using two-cluster synchronization for detailed analysis and discussion. The results show that the common intercluster coupling condition is not always needed for the diffusively coupled network. Several sufficient conditions are obtained by using the Schur unitary triangularization theorem, which extends previous results. Some numerical examples are presented for illustration.

Influence of different nematic crosslinking unit on mesomorphism of side-chain cholesteric elastomers containing menthyl groups

The synthesis of two cholesteric monomers (M₁ and M₂), nematic crosslinking agent (C₁ and C₂), and the corresponding side-chain elastomers containing menthyl groups (P₁ and P₂ series) is described. The mesomorphism was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of the content of the different nematic crosslinking unit on the mesomorphism of the elastomers was discussed. M₁ and M₂ showed cholesteric and blue phases; C₁ and C₂ showed nematic phase. Because of the introduction of the nematic crosslinking unit, elastomers P_1-1−P_1-5 and P_2-1−P_2-5 exhibited cholesteric phase. With increasing the content of nematic crosslinking unit, T _g of the obtained elastomers revealed an increased tendency, and T _i of P₁ series firstly increased then decreased, while T _i of P₂ series decreased the mesomorphism of the corresponding elastomers when the content of nematic crosslinking unit was 12 mol.%.     

Synthesis, structure and mesomorphism of new cholesteric monomers and smectic comblike polymers

Seven new cholesteric monomers (M-1−M-7) and the corresponding smectic comblike polymers containing cholesteryl groups (P-1−P-7) were synthesized. The chemical structures and purity were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, and elemental analyses. The specific optical rotations were evaluated with a polarimeter. The mesomorphism was investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The specific optical rotation values of these monomers and polymers with the same numbers of phenyl ring and terminal groups were nearly equal, however, they decreased with increasing the aryl numbers in the mesogenic core. M-1−M-7 showed oily streak texture and focal conic texture, or fingerprint texture, or spiral texture of cholesteric phase. P-1−P-7 showed the smectic A phase. The melting, clearing, and glass transition temperatures increased, and the mesophase temperature ranges widened with increasing the aryl number in the mesogenic core. Surprisingly, although the molecular structures of M-6 and M-7 were similar to those of M-4, namely the mesogenic cores contained three phenyl rings, their phase behavior had a considerable difference, and T_m and T_i of M-6 and M-7 were less than those of M-4. In addition, M-6 and M-7 also showed an obvious glass transition. TGA showed that all the polymers had good thermal stabilities.

A 2D Lanthanide-organic Framework Based on Inorganic Lanthanum（Ⅲ） Sulfate Skeletons：Synthesis,Structure,and Luminescence and Thermal Properties

A new lanthanum coordination polymer formulated as {[La2(pyda) 2(μ4-SO4) ·5H2O]· 2H2O}n(1,H2pyda = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized from the reaction of H2pyda with lanthanide nitrate in the presence of sulfate as a counter anion. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system,space group Pna21,with a = 18.8558(19) ,b = 6.5831(7) and c = 18.7543(19) . The compound is a 2D hybrid,in which the La(Ⅲ) ions were doubly connected by the carboxylic group of pyda2-ligand to form the La(Ⅲ) dimer followed by being grafted into 1D zig-zag chains which are further connected into a 2D network containing {[La(SO4) ]+}n helical chains. The interchain hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions extended the 2D networks into a 3D supramolecular edifice.     

Synthesis and characterization of side chain cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers derived from chiral bisolefinic crosslinking units

In this work we prepared a nematic monomer (4'-allyloxybiphenyl 4'-ethoxybenzoate, M₁), a chiral crosslinking agent (isosorbide 4-allyloxybenzoyl bisate, M₂) and a series of new side chain cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers derived from M₁ and M₂. The chemical structures of the monomers and polymers were confirmed by FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The effect of the content of the crosslinking unit on phase behaviour of the elastomers is discussed. Polymer P₁ showed a nematic phase, P₂-P₇ showed a cholesteric phase; P₆ formed a blue Grandjean texture over a broad temperature range 145-209.6°C, with no changed on the cooling. Polymers P₄-P₇, with more than 6 mol % of chiral crosslinking agent, gave rise to selective reflection. Elastomers containing less than 15 mol % of the crosslinking units displayed elasticity, reversible phase transition with wide mesophase temperature ranges, and high thermal stability. Experimental results demonstrated that, with increasing content of crosslinking agent, the glass transition temperatures first fell and then increased; the isotropization temperatures and mesophase temperature ranges decreased.
