Synthesis and liquid crystalline properties of T-shaped dimesogenic compounds

Two series of new dimesogenic liquid crystalline compounds were synthesized and their LC and other thermal properties were characterized. These compounds consist of two mesogenic units connected through polymethylene spacer of varying length in the shape of the letter ‘T’. The difference between the two series is in the structure of tail groups attached on the pendant azobenzene mesogens; one of which is n-butyl and the other is phenyl. The compounds were characterized for their liquid crystallinity by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry and visual observation of the melts on a hot-stage attached to a polarizing microscope. All these compounds were found to form only the nematic phase enantiotropically.     

Synthesis of Novel Benzotriazoloazepine Derivatives

Eight new benzotriazoloazepine derivatives have been synthesized starting from 7‐methoxy‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1H‐2‐benzo[c]azepin‐1‐one. The compounds 2a–c have been synthesized by the reaction of 7‐methoxy‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1H‐2‐benzo[c]azepin‐1‐thione with various hydrazides. Reaction of 5 with hydrazine hydrate, followed by treatment of the resultant hydrazone with formic acid, gave corresponding 9‐alkoxy‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]azepine(6 a , b ). Cyclization of 5 with methyl carbazate gave 9‐alkoxy‐6,7‐dihydro‐2H‐benzo[c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]azepin‐3(5H)‐one (7 a–c ). The structures of the compounds were confirmed by their elemental analysis and spectral data. Their anticonvulsant activities have been initially screened.

Crystal growth and defects in Ga3PO7 crystals

Crystals with a non‐centrosymmetric structure are of great interest owing to their properties such as ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, dielectric behavior and optical properties. In this letter, Ga₃PO₇ crystals are grown by the top‐seeded solution growth (TSSG) method from a Li₂O‐3MoO₃ flux. It crystallizes in a non‐centrosymmetric trigonal crystal system with space group R3m within point group 3m. The growth defects are investigated by means of chemical etching method. The results reveal hot concentrated phosphoric acid to be a good etchant for Ga₃PO₇. The main defects are cracks, inclusions, dislocations and twin. In the meantime, the effective measures for reducing the defects are proposed. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Characterization of a capacitance-coupled contactless conductivity detection system with sidewall electrodes on a low-voltage-driven electrophoresis microchip

A new type of capacitance-coupled contactless conductivity detection (C⁴D) system with sidewall electrodes was proposed for integration on a silicon-on-isolator–poly(dimethylsiloxane) (SOI-PDMS) hybrid low-voltage-driven electrophoresis microchip. By a microelectromechanical system process, the sidewall electrodes were fabricated precisely at either side of the separation channel. The area of the capacitor electrodes was the maximum value to improve the detection sensitivity with an enhanced capacitance effect. According to the simulation results, the structural parameters of the sidewall electrodes were determined as 550-μm length, 15-μm width, 80-μm separation distance, and 1-μm isolator thickness. The integrated microdevice with the SOI-PDMS hybrid electrophoresis microchip was very compact and the size was only 15 cm × 15 cm × 10 cm (width × length × height), which permitted miniaturization and portability. The detector performance was evaluated by K⁺ testing. The detection limit of the conductivity detector was determined to be 10^-9 and 10^-6 M for K⁺ in the static and electric-driven modes, respectively. Finally, the C⁴D was applied to low-voltage-driven electrophoresis on a microchip to carry out real-time measurement of the separation of amino acids. The separations of 10^-4 M lysine and phenylalanine in the low-voltage-driven electrophoresis mode were performed with an electric field of 300 V/cm and were completed in less than 15 min with a resolution of 1.3. The separation efficiency was found to be 1.3 × 10³ and 2.8 × 10³ plates for lysine and phenylalanine, respectively, with a migration time reproducibility of 2.7 and 3.2%. The conductivity detection limit of amino acids achieved was 10^-6 M. The proposed method for the construction of a novel C⁴D integrated on an SOI-PDMS hybrid low-voltage-driven electrophoresis microchip showed the most extensive integration and miniaturization of a microdevice, which is a further crucial step toward the realization of the “lab-on-a-chip” concept.     

Acetate reduction synthesis of Sr2Si5N8:Eu phosphor and its luminescence properties

A novel synthesis method was developed for the efficient red phosphor, Eu²⁺-activated Sr₂Si₅N₈, by employing the strontium acetate as both the reducing agent and strontium source. The phase purity of final product was strongly dependent on the heating rate of the precursors. Sr₂Si₅N₈:Eu²⁺ (2 at%) phosphor presented a broadband excitation spectrum in the range 300–500 nm, matching well with the blue emission (400/460 nm) of current InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The red emission peaking at 619 nm gave the relatively high (about 155%) intensity compared with the Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (YAG) (P46-Y3) standard phosphor. In addition, the saturated chromatic coordinates (0.638, 0.359) allowed it a promising candidate as a red phosphor in white LEDs application for illumination or display.
