A series of azo-type side-chain liquid crystalline polysiloxane–palladium complexes

A series of azo-type side-chain liquid crystalline polysiloxanes (AZLCPs) were synthesized, starting from organic polysiloxane and azo-type mesogenic compounds having an end allyl group. The AZLCPs were further used to coordinate with palladium dichloride and potassium chloride, by which a series of palladium complexes of AZLCPs (Pd–AZLCPs) were prepared. The mesogenic properties of all of the liquid crystalline polymers were characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry, polarized microscope and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. It was found that all of the polymer ligands and their palladium complexes showed thermotropic liquid crystallinity and that the incorporation of the palladium ions gave positive effects to the mesogenic properties of their polymer ligand counterpart. Compared with the corresponding AZLCPs, the Pd–AZLCPs have higher isotropization temperatures and a broader mesophase temperature range. The mesogenic properties of the liquid crystalline polymer ligands and their palladium complexes were also varied gradually by changing the length of the alkoxy groups on the side chain. The polymers that have a color emissive group and a highly flexible polysiloxane main chain may potentially be used as nonlinear optical materials.     

Influence of the mesophase structure on the β-relaxation in liquid crystalline poly(meth)acrylates

The dependence of the rotation of the mesogenic unit around its long axis (β-relaxation) on the actual mesophase in liqid crystalline polymethacrylates and polyacrylates was studied by dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10⁻² Hz to 10⁶ Hz and in a temperature range from 170 K to 430 K. As mesogenic units derivatives of (p-alkoxy-phenyl)-benzoate were used where different mesophases were achieved by small variation of the mesogenic structure, the spacer length and the tail group of the mesogenic unit. For all samples the temperature dependence of the relaxation rate of the β-relaxation can be described by an Arrhenius equation where both the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy increase significantly with the order of the mesophase. To characterize the structure X-ray measurements were also carried out. The mean lateral mesogenic distance was correlated directly with relaxational quantities.

Characterization of tension and normally lignified wood cellulose inPopulus maximowiczii

We have investigated unlignified tension wood and normally lignified wood celluloses inPopulus maximowiczii with particular reference to the composition of two crystalline phases I/I (triclinic/ monoclinic). Four independent techniques, which enable us to detect the two phases, CP/MAS¹³C NMR, Fourier transform infrared microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction, and X-ray diffraction were applied. Because of the low crystallinity of wood celluloses, particularly in the case of celluloses in the lignified cell wall, no single method was decisive enough to be able to determine the composition of the two phases as one can with highly crystalline materials. The I dominant structure (monoclinic crystal type) was, however, preferred for both tension and normal wood celluloses.     

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.     

INFLUENCE OF BACKBONE RIGIDITY ON THE LIQUID CRYSTALLINITY OF MESOGEN-CONTAINING POLYACETYLENES

Two acetylene polymers containing cyanobiphenyl-based mesogens,poly { 10-[ ((4'- cyano-4-biphenylyl ) oxy ) carbonyl] - 1 -decyne } (PA8CN ), which has a relativelyfiexible polyalkyne backbone, and poly {[4-(((12-((4'-cyano-4-biphenylyl)oxy)dodecyl)oxy)carbonyl) phenyl]-acetylene} (PB12CN), which has a fairly rigid poly (phenylacetylene )backbone, were synthesized using respectively WCl_6 and [Rh(nbd)Cl]_2 as the catalysts.PA8CN exhibits enantiotropic interdigitated smectic A phase (S_(Ad)) over a temperaturerange as wide as ca. 100℃, whereas PB12CN is non-mesomorphic, demonstrating thatthe backbone rigidity plays an important role in determining the liquid crystallinity of thepolyacetylenes.

结晶氮化碳的制备与改性策略

石墨相氮化碳(g-C_3N_4)是最具代表性的二维有机聚合物半导体材料,其具有可见光响应性能、稳定化学结构和优良的生物相容性等优点,在环境和能源领域有非常广阔的应用前景。但是,普通g-C_3N_4材料的热聚合不完全,其体相和表面的缺陷多,因此光生载流子易复合,光催化活性不高。近年来,高活性结晶氮化碳(CCN)的研究得到了国内外学者的广泛关注。本文总结了目前CCN制备及其改性方法:5种代表性制备方法,包括传统熔盐法、预热熔盐法、固态盐法、溶剂法和质子化法;4种代表性CCN的改性方法,包括缺陷引入、形貌控制、单原子修饰和材料复合。文章重点介绍了 CCN制备原理、结构特征与光催化性能。最后,对CCN的制备与改性方法进行了评价,并对其研究方向进行了展望。
