4,4′‐Distyrylazobenzol als Mesogen
4,4′-Distyrylazobenzene as Mesogen From 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (1) the tetraalkoxy-substituted 4,4′-distyrylazobenzenes (E,E,E)-5a – c are synthesized. A similar reaction sequence leads from ethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxy-benzoate (6) to the hexaalkoxy-substituted 4,4′-distyrylazobenzenes (E,E,E)-11 b, c. With the exception of 5a all products show thermotropic LC properties. Smectic phases have been characterized by polarizing microscopy and by differential scanning calorimetry.
Einführung einer Dreifachbindung in das Bicyclo[6.1.0]nonan-Gerüst
Ausgehend von den auf verschiedenen Wegen zuganglichen Ketonen 1a–c wird die Einfuhrung einer Dreifachbindung in das Bicyclo[6.1.0]nonan-Gerust mit Hilfe der Selenadiazol-Methode untersucht. Dabei Konnen die hochgespannten Bicyclo-[6.1.0]nonine 2a und 2b in reiner Form isoliert werden. Masgeblich fur die Position der Dreifachbindung ist die Regioselektivitat der Ringschlusreaktion bei der Selenadiazolbildung. Introduction of a Triple Bond into the Bicyclo[6.1.0]nonane Skeleton The introduction of a triple bond into the bicyclo[6.1.0]nonane skeleton is investigated by applying the selenadiazole method to the ketones 1a–c, accessible on different pathways. The highly strained bicyclo[6.1.0]no…
Alkoxy substituted (E,E)-3,6-bis(styryl)pyridazine—a photosensitive mesogen for liquid crystals
Abstract (E,E)-3,6-Bis(styryl)pyridazines (3a–t) bearing 2, 4 or 6 alkoxy chains were prepared by applying the Siegrist reaction of 3,6-dimethylpyridazine (13) and the corresponding azomethines 10a–t. The transversal dipole moment of these calamitic compounds effects an extremely high tendency for self-organization in thermotropic LC phases (N, SA, SB, SC, SE, SI/F, and Cub). The conjugated core structure represents moreover a chromophore with a high photosensitivity for (E,E)⇄(E,Z) isomerization reactions: this property makes the compounds interesting for optical imaging and switching techniques.
