Liquid crystalline properties and photochromism of 4-alkyl-N-(4-alkloxysalicylidene)anilines

Eight new homologous series of 4-alkyl-N-(4-alkloxysalicylidene)anilines were synthesized. The phase transitions of these homologues were determined using differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. The homologues began to exhibit liquid crystalline phases as the terminal alkyl or alkoxyl chains were lengthened. In addition, some members of these homologues series exhibited photochromism in the solid state.

Azoester-based H-shaped symmetrical mesogenic dimers containing – CH3/–OCH3 terminal substituent

Two extensive homologous series of H-shaped symmetrical dimers were synthesized and their thermotropic properties studied by differential scanning calorimetry and on a hot-stage of a polarizing microscope. These compounds consist of two mesogenic units of azoester interconnected through flexible spacers (n?=?4) resulting in the structure of ‘H-shaped’ dimeric compounds. The difference between the two series is in the structure of terminal substituents (–CH₃ for series I and –OCH₃ for series II) attached on the azoester mesogens at one terminus. All these compounds were found to be smectogenic. The effect of different terminal substituents on mesomorphism is discussed. The trans-azobenzene groups of the H-shaped dimeric compounds display a high-intensity π–π* transition at about 365?nm and a low-intensity π–π* transition at around 460?nm, therefore, photochromism can be achieved by the introduction of the azo linkage to the H-shaped dimeric compounds.     

H型聚合物的合成及性质

H型聚合物是一种具有轻度支化拓扑结构的高分子,通常具有不同于线型、星型和超支化聚合物的流变性能、本体和溶液组装性能。由于H型聚合物的合成较为复杂,一直以来,科研工作者的工作重点均集中于如何精确合成与构筑,性能研究较为有限。本文根据H型聚合物构筑段的不同从H型均聚物、二元共聚物、三元共聚物、五元共聚物以及其他H型聚合物的合成及性质方面进行了总结和评述,并在此基础上展望了H型聚合物的研究方向和发展趋势。

Extended conjugated mesogens: synthesis and mesomorphic properties of H-shaped mesogens based on 3,3ʹ,5,5ʹ-tetrasubstituted 2,2ʹ-bithiophene with oligo(1,4-phenyleneethynylene) arms

A new class of extended conjugated mesogens, namely H-shaped mesogens based on 3,3?,5,5?-tetrasubstituted 2,2?-bithiophene with oligo(1,4-phenyleneethynylene) arms, have been synthesised, and the relationships between molecular structures and mesomorphic properties investigated. Tetraalkyl, tetraalkoxy and dialkyldialkoxy derivatives, [R¹C₆H₄CCC₆H₂(C₂H₅)₂CC]₂[R²C₆H₄CCC₆H₂(C₂H₅)₂CC]₂C₈H₂S₂ where R¹ and R² = alkyl and alkoxy chains of different lengths, exhibit nematic phases. The length, number and position of the terminal chains strongly affect the mesomorphic properties. The tetraalkyl derivatives in which R¹ = R² = pentyl to heptyl exhibit enantiotropic mesophases, whereas the derivatives with octyl or nonyl chains exhibit monotropic mesophases. The tetraalkoxy derivatives in which R¹ = R² = pentyloxy to nonyloxy all exhibit enantiotropic nematic phases. The mesophase range increases with increasing alkoxy chain length, except that the octyloxy and nonyloxy derivatives have almost the same temperature range. The dialkyldialkoxy derivatives in which R¹ = alkyl; R² = alkoxy and in which R¹ = alkoxy; R² = alkyl (R¹ and R² = heptyl, nonyl, hexyloxy or nonyloxy) exhibit enantiotropic mesophases. The derivatives in which R¹ = alkoxy have a significantly lower crystal–nematic transition temperature than the corresponding derivatives (R² = alkoxy), although the two types of derivatives have a similar nematic–isotropic transition temperature.     

Nucleation and crystallization of H-shaped (PS)2PEG(PS)2 block copolymers

<正>A series of H-shaped(PS)_2PEG(PS)_2 block copolymers with different PS chain lengths were prepared.The influence of different confinements active on the crystallization and self-nucleation(SN) behavior of the PEG blocks was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).When the content of the crystalline block was high,a classical SN behavior was obtained.The block copolymer with PEG content of 49%(by weight) showed a classical SN behavior with a narrow self-nucleation domain and had bimodal crystallization exotherms.When the PEG dispersed as separated microdomains in the block copolymer,the self-nucleation domain disappeared and only annealing was observed.     

Nonlinear optical properties of novel H-shaped chromophores

Novel and effective H-shaped chromophores were doped into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to form guest-host polymer thin films.The measurement results of Maker fringe method show that the polymer thin films containing the H-shaped chromophores as a guest exhibit high second harmonic coefficients (d33) compared with other two-dimensional chromophores.     

Calorimetric study of the cubic mesogen,ACBC(16)

The heat capacity of the cubic mesogen ACBC(16) was measured between 16 and 500?K by adiabatic calorimetry. As well as the known condensed phases, a new crystalline phase was found to undergo a glass transition at around 165?K. Phase transitions between crystal, SmC, cubic, and isotropic liquid phases took place at 399.16, 431.15, and 474.30?K, respectively. As in the case of ANBC, a broad hump was observed in the heat capacity of the isotropic liquid phase. The first order nature of the SmC–cubic phase transition was confirmed for the first time by the observation of supercooling of the cubic phase. The broad hump in the isotropic liquid phase was shown to extend to a low temperature side if the isotropic liquid was supercooled, suggesting that the event occurring at the hump is not directly related to the cubic–isotropic liquid phase transition.
