Star-shaped conjugated compounds forming nematic discotic systems
2004
Abstract Star-shaped compounds, having a benzene ( 9a,b ) or a 1,3,5-triazine ( 11a,b ) core and stilbenoid arms were prepared. Hexyloxy chains, attached in the middle of the arms, provide nematic discotic phases ND, which are unusual for such systems. The position of the sidechains prevents the micro-segregation, which is valid for star-shaped discs of columnar phases. The stilbenoid character of 9a,b and 11a,b guarantees a high light sensitivity. Apart from the statistical CC bond formation by irradiation in solution or in the LC phases, a topochemically controlled chemo-, regio- and stereoselective photocyclodimerization 11a → 12 was found in the crystalline state. The structure determin…
Kronenethersubstituierte 1,4-Distyrylbenzole und ihre Komplexierung mit Alkalipikraten
2000
Crown Ether Substituted 1,4-Distyrylbenzenes and their Complexation with Alkali Picrates The 1,4-distyrylbenzenes 8 and 9, which contain two crown ether units, each, were prepared by Wittig—Horner reactions. Their complexation tendencies with alkali picrates (Li—Cs) in water/dichloromethane were investigated. Potas sium ions give the strongest complexes. Generally monomo-lecular 1:1-complexes are formed; however, [K-8] + [Pik]—, [K-9]+ [Pik]— and [Rb-8] + [Pik]— generate aggregates, for which a stairway structure is proposed.
