Liquid crystals in the series of 2,4,6-tristyryl-1,3,5-triazines
2004
Abstract Alkaline condensation reactions of 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine ( 1 ) and substituted benzaldehydes ( 2a – n ) yield 2,4,6-tristyryl-1,3,5-triazines ( 3a – n ). A sufficient number and length of the alkoxy chains at the benzene rings provide liquid crystalline phases Col hd . A special structure was found for compound 3i with 9 hexyloxy chains; it exists in the solid state in a helical columnar arrangement, which is transformed by heating to a hexagonal columnar mesophase. Irradiation of the mesophases of 3i – 3m leads to partial cyclodimerization reactions, which cause different textures and lower the clearing points. The border line between the irradiated and the unirradiated z…
