Abstract Three mesogenic compounds of the general formula have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. thermal optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods/Enthalpy changes of The different phase transitions for these compounds have been determined. H33 exhibits smectic B and nematic phases, whereas H34 and H75 exhibit only smectic B phases. The thickness of the smectic layers and the average intermolecular distance have been evaluated, as well as the corresponding molecular parameters in the nematic phase.

Mesomorphic Properties

4-Cyano-1,1'-biphenyl derivatives bearing ω-hydroxyalkyl substituents were reacted with methyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropionate or cyanoacetic acid, giving liquid-crystalline linear malonates and cyanoacetates. These compounds formed monotropic nematic phases at 62 °C down to ambient temperature upon cooling from the isotropic liquid. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (WAXS).

Alkyl Chains

Six S,S-dialkyl acetals 2a-f of inosose (1), tripodal in structure, have been synthesized, characterized and investigated by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). The four S,S-acetals 2c-f with sufficiently long alkyl chains are thermotropic liquid crystalline; 2 e and 2 f are even dithermomesomorphic. Each of these four inosose derivatives 2c-f exhibits monotropically a most likely cubic mesophase (MI); in addition 2e and 2f show enantiotropically a hexagonal mesophase (Hx) with a non-covalent, supramolecular H-bridge architecture. Whereas the nature of the optically isotropic mesophase MI needs further clarification the stable high temperature mesophase Hx of 2 e and 2 f has been established by a miscibility test using a sugar S,S-dialkyl acetal also tripodal in structure and with a Hx phase proved by X-ray diffraction, but in contrast to 2 with an acyclic hydrophilic part. Similarities of structural features between the Hx-phases of 2e and 2f as well as of other thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal systems are discussed briefly.

Liquid Crystalline Phases

A series of C2-symmetric compounds with different core sizes and varying lengths and numbers of alkoxy side chains were prepared, and the factors influencing their liquid crystalline mesophase behaviour were investigated. The compounds studied were based on benzophenone, dibenzylidene-acetone, and 1,9-diphenyl-nona-1,3,6,8-tetraen-5-one cores with either 1 or 2 linear alkoxy side chains. The side chains were varied in length from C6H13 to C12H25. The liquid crystalline mesophase behaviour of the compounds was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). It was found that a number of the molecules were able to self-assemble into smectic and nematic liquid crystalline phases.

Liquid Crystalline Phases

Structural characteristics of solid and liquid crystalline phases of 7OS5 (4-n-pentylphenyl-4′-n-heptyloxythiobenzoate), the achiral smectogenic mesogen with the shortest terminal carbon chain in the nOS5 homologous series, are studied by complementary methods. Simultaneously perfomed X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry occur to be a powerful tool to study metastable phases. The single crystal structure of a high-temperature phase, supercooled from the room temperature down to −183°C [orthorhombic crystal system; space group Pca21; a = 54.285 (5) Å, b = 5.5843 (3) Å, c = 14.841 (1) Å, Z = 8] is determined. Lamellar ordering of elongated molecules is stabilized by hydrogen bonds . Temperature dependence of unit-cell parameters in two crystal phases as well as structural parameters of liquid crystalline phases (smectic layer spacing, tilt angle, average distance between the long axes of molecules and correlation lengths) are determined by X-ray diffraction. The obtained results are compared with the data available for other compounds in the nOS5 homologous series.

Crystal Properties

Two series containing 1,3-bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzene as a rigid core (RC) and alkyl or perfluoroalkyl as terminal chains were synthesized and characterized. Liquid crystal properties of the synthesized compounds have been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction techniques. Conformation effects of the synthesized products on the dipole moments were also investigated.
