The synthesis and characterization of a new homologous series of compounds, the 2-cyano-1,3-phenylene bis[4-(4-n-alkoxyphenyliminomethyl)benzoates] derived from 2-cyanoresorcinol is reported. All the compounds are enantiotropic mesogens and exhibit the fascinating B7 mesophase. The characterization of the mesophase was performed using polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and electro-optical studies. 相似文献

A comparative study is made of the role of the lateral substituent on the reentrant nematic phase of some phenyl benzoyloxybenzoates and cinnamoyloxybenzoates. The lateral substituent, depending on its location, seems to have varying degrees of influence on the reentrant nematic phase. 相似文献

Abstract We present here precise measurements of the layer spacing for two compounds, viz. 4-n-heptyloxyphenyl-4′-(4″-cyanobenzoyloxy)benzoate and 4-n-undecyloxyphenyl-4′-(4″-cyanobenzyloxy)benzoate. Contrary to earlier reports our data do not show any jump in the layer spacing at the expected Ad-A2 transition temperature, showing thereby that for both compounds A2 evolves continuously from the Ad phase. 相似文献

Thirty eight compounds composed of achiral banana-shaped molecules belonging to three new homologous series have been synthesized and their mesomorphic properties investigated. The mesophases have been characterized using a combination of polarized light microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, miscibility methods and X-ray diffraction measurements. All the compounds reported exhibit mesomorphic properties. Most of the homologues in the three series show B1 and B2 phases and the transition temperatures of these are lower in the fluoro substituted compounds. Some of the lower homologues of the fluoro substituted derivatives also show the nematic phase. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of more than a hundred achiral compounds composed of banana-shaped molecules and belonging to eleven different homologous series are reported. All these symmetrical five-ring compounds are esters and are derived from resorcinol. The compounds have been systematically substituted by fluorine on the phenyl rings of the arms of these banana-shaped molecules. The mesophases exhibited by these compounds have been characterized using a combination of polarized light optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction studies. Electro-optical investigations have been carried out on several compounds and both ferroelectric and antiferroelectric properties are observed. The influence of the position of the fluorine substituent on the nature of the mesophase obtained has been examined. 相似文献

Cryo-TEM studies on two smectic phases of an asymmetric bent-core liquid crystal material are presented and compared to prior X-ray results obtained in bulk samples. While the bulk samples have layer-modulated structures, those modulations are not observable in the 100-nm-thick TEM samples, indicating surface-induced suppression of the layer modulations. The observed layer spacing is in agreement with the X-ray results in the lower temperature smectic phase, but distinctly larger in the higher temperature phase. This indicates surface-induced suppression of the director tilt. Cryo-TEM textures resolve the profiles of individual smectic layers at the scales down to few nanometres and reveal the presence of edge and screw dislocations, twist grain boundaries, small-angle and large-angle tilt grain boundaries. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of five homologous series of symmetrical compounds composed of banana-shaped molecules containing a biphenyl moiety are reported. All these compounds are non-Schiff's bases and are esters. The effects of lateral substituents such as fluoro, methyl and ethyl in the side arms of these molecules are examined. These substituents have a strong influence in reducing the clearing temperatures. Banana phases such as B1, B2 and B6 were observed in the above series of compounds. The mesophases were characterized by a combination of polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and electro-optic studies. 相似文献

The total miscibility method is applied to study the recently discovered mesophases of disc-like molecules, benzene-hexa-n-alkanoates. These compounds do not form continuous solid solutions, but are totally miscible in the liquid and mesomorphic
states. The virtual mesophase-isotropic transition temperature for the hexanoate compound derived from the miscibility diagram
is in excellent accord with that obtained from the previously reported pressure-temperature phase diagram. With simplifying
assumptions, it is possible to predict with acceptable reliability the isobaric binary phase diagrams of any two members of
the series. The real and virtual mesophase-liquid transition temperatures are linear functions of the molecular weight. On
the other hand, a plot of the crystal-liquid transition temperatures versus the molecular weight exhibits a minimum. Total
miscibility in the mesomorphic state is not observed for two members of different discogenic series, but the existence of
different mesophase types is not proved. Lyotropic mesomorphism for a disc-like mesophase is established. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of three homologous series of compounds exhibiting the undulated twist grain boundary smectic C* (UTGBC*) phase are reported. The chiral mesophases have been obtained using cholesterol as the chiral moiety. Cholestanol and [S]-[+]-octan-2-ol have also been used as the chiral moiety for comparitive purposes. In addition to this novel phase, cholesteric, smectic A, smectic C* and TGBA phases have also been observed. The mesophases were characterized using a combination of polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and measurement of helical pitch. 相似文献

A homologous series of twelve 4-cyanophenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-n-alkylbenzoyloxy) benzoates have been prepared and their mesomorphic properties characterised. All these compounds are colourless, stable and have large positive dielectric anisotropy. The first ten homologues are purely nematic and have a wide thermal range. The undecyloxy and dodecyloxy derivatives exhibit a smectic phase in addition to the nematic phase. A plot of the nematic-isotropic transition temperatures against the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain shows the usual odd-even effect. 相似文献
