Feinstrukturanalyse eines diskotischen Polymers durch Elektronenbeugung und hochauflösende Elektronenmikroskopie

The synthesis and the thermotropic phase behavior of the dipolar amphiphiles C 5 H 5 N + (CH 2 ) m OCOPhPHCOO(CH 2 ) m N + C 5 H 5 and the polymeric amphiphile [(CH 2 ) 6 OPhPhO(CH 2 ) 6 OCOCH([CH 2 ] 6 N + C 5 H 5 )COO] n are described

1992

The synthesis and the results of the structural study of two copolysiloxanes with laterally fixed trinitrofluorenone (TNF) units is reported. The two copolysiloxanes having 2,4 (1a) and 5,3 (1b) dimethylsiloxane comonomer units per TNF side group differ significantly in their phase behaviour as evident from optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray scattering: 1b shows a nematic mesophase whereas 1a is an amorphous material. The different phase behaviour is discussed in terms of microphase separation between the siloxane backbone and TNF side groups.

Tristriazolotriazines with π-Conjugated Segments: Star-Shaped Fluorophors and Discotic Liquid Crystals

2012

C3-symmetrical tristriazolotriazines substituted with phenylene rings carrying lateral flexible alkoxy side chains were prepared via condensation/ring transformation of cyanuric chloride and tetrazoles. These star-shaped, planar compounds can form broad thermotropic mesophases. Due to the extensive π-conjugation, these compounds are highly emissive and the octupolar donor-acceptor electronic structure results in non-linear optical properties like solvatochromism. Brønstedt acids provoke halochromism of the absorption and of the fluorescence.

(E,E,E)-4,4′-Distyrylstilbenes – Synthesis, Photophysics, Photochemistry and Phase Behavior

2008

The fluorescence quantum yields F(n) of oligo[2,5-bis(propyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene]s (1b) reach for the trimer (n = 3) in solution a maximum of 86 %, which is almost twice as high as for the monomer (n = 1) and the octamer or undecamer (n = 8, 11). The latter represent the convergence limit of 46 %. 4-Mono-, 3,4-di- or 3,4,5-trisubstituted terminal phenyl rings in the trimers 6a–f do not lead to calamitic or phasmidic liquid crystals; however, 2,3,4-trisubstitution with hexyloxy groups (6h) and even with OCH3 groups (6g) effects LC formation. Irradiation with energy-rich UV light provokes a crosslinking of the originally conjugated chains. In the case of 6c, a chemo- and stereoselective…

Polyreactions in oriented systems, VIII.. Polymerization of a liquid crystalline monomer under the influence of a high magnetic field

1975

1987

Liquid-crystalline copolymers with covalently attached dichroic dyes were synthesized and characterized. Copolymers with high anthraquinone and trisazo-dye content were obtained by copolymerization of dye monomers with 4-cyanophenyl 4-(6-acryloyloxyhexyloxy)benzoate (1) and 6-acryloyloxyhexyl 4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl)benzoate (2). Particular attention is given to the influence of the dye content and the dye structure on the liquid-crystalline behavior of the copolymers.

Light Induced Modifications of Langmuir-Blodgett-Multilayer Assemblies Containing Amphotropic Azocopolymer

1994

Abstract Photochromic LB-multilayers of amphotropic copolymers having rod-like azobenzene moieties as side groups which exhibit thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviour in the bulk have been characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy as well as by angular dependent and energy dispersive SAXS. Upon irradiation with UV-light the initial optical in-plane anisotropy and the vertical layered structure of LB-films can be destroyed. A new layered structure can be rebuilt on irradiation with visible light or by annealing. Using linearly polarized light for the irradiation an optical anisotropy (POA) has been induced or reversibly modified by a photoselection process.

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Tripyreno[2,3,4,-abc:2,3,4-ghi:2,3,4-mno][18]annulenes.

2001

The title compounds were prepared in a multi-step synthesis in which primarily the pyrene building blocks were formed (1,2 11a,b). The final reaction step 11a,b 12a,b consisted of a threefold trans selective cyclocondensation process that generated the central 18-membered ring. Hexyloxy or dodecyloxy sidechains attached on the periphery led to the formation of liquid crystalline phases.
