Smectic A Phase

ABSTRACTThermotropic liquid-crystalline behavior of various complex salts, which are structurally simple amphiphiles without rigid cores, was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. The phosphonium salts, consisting of positive phosphorus and negative chloride ions, were found to show a smectic A phase in which a homeotropic structure was formed spontaneously. It is significant that the phosphonium salts possess an advantageous feature as thermotropic liquid crystals and show a stable liquid-crystalline phase and a simple phase transition behavior in comparison with commonly available ammonium analogs. Furthermore, the introduction of divalent metal ions into the amphiphiles was revealed to result in enhancement of the thermal properties. Although the ammonium chlorides as parent compounds showed no liquid-crystalline phase (or indistinct transition behavior), the ammonium complexes possessing tetrachlorometalate ions exhibited clearly the smectic A phase in the expanded temperature range. Additionally, through the evaluation of dipolar alignment in the solid-state phosphonium assembly by second harmonic generation, it was assumed that the self-assembly can be regarded as layered polar thin films produced by two-dimensional ionic layers with an overall permanent electric polarization.

AbstractModern day hospital treatments aim at developing electrochemical biosensors for early diagnosis of diseases using unconventional human bio-fluids like sweat and saliva by monitoring the electron transfer reactions of target analytes. Such kinds of health care diagnostics primarily avoid the usage of human blood and urine samples. In this context, here we have investigated the electron transfer reaction of a well-known and commonly used redox probe namely, potassium ferro/ferri cyanide by employing artificially simulated bio-mimics of human sweat and saliva as unconventional electrolytes. Typically, electron transfer characteristics of the redox couple, [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− are investigated using electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Many different kinetic parameters are determined and compared with the conventional system. In addition, such electron transfer reactions have also been studied using a lyotropic liquid crystalline phase comprising of Triton X-100 and water in which the aqueous phase is replaced with either human sweat or saliva bio-mimics. From these studies, we find out the electron transfer reaction of [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox couple is completely diffusion controlled on both Au and Pt disc shaped electrodes in presence of sweat and saliva bio-mimic solutions. Moreover, the reaction is partially blocked by the presence of lyotropic liquid crystalline phase consisting of sweat and saliva bio-mimics indicating the predominant charge transfer controlled process for the redox probe. However, the rate constant values associated with the electron transfer reaction are drastically reduced in presence of liquid crystalline phase. These studies are essentially carried out to assess the effect of sweat and saliva on the electrochemistry of Fe2+/3+ redox couple.
