DSC法研究液晶物质2-(4-烷氧苯基)6-取代苯并噻唑的相变热性质

众所周知,液晶类物质常因其特殊的理化性质而引起人们的兴趣,而拥有多种介晶相(mesomorphous phase)则为其主要特点之一.对于测定该类物质各种相变之间的热性质,差示扫描量热法(DSC)通常有其独特之处。2-(4-烷氧苯基)-6-取代苯并噻唑化合物为苏州大学化学系新研制的,样品经偏光显微镜、X射线衍射仪分析,发现其具有热致性液晶性能.我们用DSC法对这些化合物在升温及降温过程中的相变温度、相变焓进行了测定,并计算得到了相变熵。对于样品在冷却过程中的过冷现象作了测定和探讨.此外,还就样品处理对实验结果的影响作了初步的探索。     

羟乙基纤维素醋酸酯热致液晶性和相转变

本文研究了羟乙基纤维素醋酸酯的热致液晶和相转变过程。发现升温时,在130～185℃范围内羟乙基纤维素醋酸是各向异性的熔体,在温度高于185℃以后是各向同性的熔体。降温时,各向异性相在165℃时开始形成,进一步冷却到室温,形成液晶玻璃态。在降温过程中,相转变和液晶相织构的形成都很快,而且一旦液晶相的织构形成以后就不再随时间和温度降低而变化。羟乙基纤维素醋酸酯的热致液晶性还受其分子量影响,分子量越高,相转变温度越高。但是,在适当的分子量下,羟乙基纤维素醋酸酯才有最大的动力学相转变能力。

甲基纤维素/二氯乙酸液晶溶液的相转变

本文研究了甲基纤维素/二氯乙酸液晶溶液液晶相与各向同性相之间相互转变的过程。在连续升温过程中,由于液晶相内部有序度的非均一性,升温速率对液晶相织构随温度的变化有较大的影响。在等温相转变过程中,无论是从各向同性态转变为液晶态,还是其逆过程,从液晶态转变为各向同性态,相转变曲线均具有指数方程特征。利用与 Avrami 方程相似的指数方程进行处理,在从各向同性态转变为液晶态时,指数 n 大部分约为1。但液晶相向各向同性相在低于 Tc 时的相转变中,n 均小于1。相转变速率受溶液浓度和温度的影响。在质量分数为0.259的浓度时,液晶相向各向同性相的转变在低于 Tc 时39.5℃进行得最快。

Polymesomorphism in a homologous series of 2-(4-alkoxyphenyl)-5-(4-methylphenyl)pyridines

A new series of 2-(4- n -alkoxyphenyl)-5-(4-methylphenyl)pyridines (CH C H C H NC HOC H , n 1-10) (APMPP), which are teraryl compounds containing a pyridine ring in n 2 m 1 the centre position of the rigid core, was synthesized and the phase transitions of the homologues were studied using DSC measurements, polarizing optical microscopy and miscibility tests with terephthalylidene-bis-4- n -pentylaniline (TBPA). Only a nematic phase was found for the shorter alkoxy homologues with n 4. The longer alkoxy homologues with n 4 showed the sequence of enantiotropic phase transitions CrG-SmF-SmC-SmA-N-I, while a monotropic CrH phase was observed for the n 5-10 homologues. Interestingly, the polymesomorphisms appear when n is larger than 4. 3 6 4 5 3 6 4     

Monotropic smectic A to double layer smectic C transition of biphenyl containing liquid crystal acetylene

Crystalline Behavior and Structure of a Liquid Crystal Compound, 5‐{[4′‐(((Pentyl)oxy)‐4‐biphenylyl)carbonyl]oxy}‐1‐pentyne

Single crystals of two liquid crystal compounds, 5‐{[4′‐(((pentyl)oxy)‐4‐biphenylyl)carbonyl]oxy}‐1‐pentyne (A3EO5) and 5‐{[(4′‐nonyloxy‐4‐biphenylyl)carbonyl]oxy}‐1‐pentyne (A3EO9), have been prepared by solution growth technique. The morphologies and structures of A3EO5 and A3EO9 crystals were investigated by wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WXRD), atom force microscope (AFM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). In contrast to the same series of compounds which have a longer alkyl tail, 5‐{[(4′‐heptoxy‐4‐biphenylyl)carbonyl]oxy}‐1‐pentyne (A3EO7), 5‐{[(4′‐heptoxy‐4‐biphenylyl)oxy]carbonyl}‐1‐pentyne (A3E′O7) and A3EO9, A3EO5 shows strikingly different crystalline behavior. The former three compounds have only one crystal form, whereas A3EO5 exhibits polymorphism. Specifically, A3EO5 crystals grown from toluene solution show two crystal forms. The first one is crystal I which adopts a monoclinic P112/m space group with unit cell parameters of a?5.79 Å, b?8.34 Å, c?43.92 Å, γ?96°, and the other one is crystal II which adopts a monoclinic P112 space group with unit cell parameters of a?5.55 Å, b?7.38 Å, c?31.75 Å, γ?94°. When using dioxane as the solvent to grow A3EO5 crystal, we can selectively obtain crystal I. A3EO5 melt‐grown crystals also have two crystal forms which derive from crystal I and crystal II, respectively. The different crystalline behavior of the compounds should correlate with their different electron dipole moment resulting from the different length of alkyl tail.     

Structural Changes and Phase Transitions in Whitlockite-Like Phosphates

New compounds with a g -Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 structure type were found in three systems: Sr 9+ x M 1.5 m x (PO 4 ) 7 ( M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Cd; space group R 3 m ; Z = 3), Sr 9 R (PO 4 ) 7 ( R = Al, Sc, Cr, Fe, Ga, In, and Gd-Lu; space group P 2/ c , Z = 4), and Sr 9+2 x M 1+ x A 1 m 6 x (PO 4 ) 7 ( M = Mn, Ni, Cd; space group R 3 c and Z = 6 for A = Na, K; space group P 2/ m and Z = 4 for A = Li). Crystal structures of these compounds were determined by time-of-flight neutron, synchrotron X-ray, and laboratory X-ray powder diffraction. Reversible polar-to-centrosymmetric phase transitions ( R 3 c {\begin{array}{c}\\[-14pt]\hspace*{.5pt}\to\\[-7pt]\hspace*{-.5pt}\gets \end{array}} R 3 m ) were observed at high temperatures in Ca 3 m x Sr x (PO 4 ) 2 (0 h x h 12/7), Ca 10.5 m 1.5 x Fe x (PO 4 ) 7 (0 h x h 1), and Ca 9 R (PO 4 ) 7 . Solid solutions Ca 3 m x Sr x (PO 4 ) 2 (13/7 h x h 16/7) are centosymmetric with space group R 3 m at room temperature. These phase transitions were studied by high-temperature X-ray diffraction, second-harmonic generation, DSC, electric-conductivity and dielectric measurements.     

MECHANICAL PERTURBATION INDUCED MOLECULAR ALIGNMENTS IN A SIDE-CHAIN LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYACETYLENE, POLY{10-[4-(4''-METHOXYPHENOXY-CARBOML)PHENOXYCARBONYL]-1-DECYNE}*

A new liquid crystalline polyacetylene containing a phenyl benzoate mesogen (5) is synthesized,whose mesomorphic properties are found to be easily "tunab1e" by simple mechanical perturbation. Thepolymerization of 10- [ 4 - (4' -methoxyphenoxycarbonyl )phenoxycarbonyl] - 1 -decyne (4 ) in itiated by theWCl_6-Ph_4Sn/dioxane complex yields polymer 5 with a M_w of 28400. The molecular structure of 5 ischaracterized by NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy and its liquid crystalline behavior is investigated by DSC,POM, and XRD analysis. Upon mechanical perturbation, 5 exhibits unusual agitation-induced high-strengthdisclinations, shear-induced inversion walls, and solidification-induced banded textures. Such phenomenahave been observed in the main-chain liquid crystalline polymers with rigid backbones, but have seldom beenreported for the side-chain liquid crystalline polymers with flexible backbones, suggesting that the rigidpolyacetylene backbone of 5 plays a constructive role in inducing the novel molecular alignments.     

The synthesis and liquid crystalline behaviour of 2-(4-n-alkoxyphenyl)-5-methylpyridines

We have synthesized a new series of polyphenylene compounds with a pyridine ring, 2-(4-n-alkoxyphenyl)-5-methylpyridines (CH₃C₅H₃NC₆H₄OC_iH_2i1) (1a-i; the carbon number, i, of the alkoxy group is 1-9), and studied their phase transitions and mesogenicity using DSC and polarizing microscopy. In the homologous series of 1a-i, no mesomorphic phase appeared for i=1-5 and only a monotropic nematic phase was observed for i=6-9. The mesomorphic potential is relatively weaker for the 1a-i than for the 2a-i and 3a-i homologues, which are pyridine-containing three- and four-ring similar systems. This lowering of the mesogenicity may be due to the lack of a phenyl ring between the pyridine ring and the methyl group in the 1a-i homologues.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 4-methoxyphenyl 4'- n -alkoxy-2',3',5',6'-tetrafluorobiphenyl-1-carboxylates

A novel type of 4-methoxyphenyl 4'- n -alkoxy-2',3',5',6'-tetrafluorobiphenyl-1-carboxylates have been synthesized.

The relationship between the properties and chemical structures of these compounds is discussed.
