<p></p><p>Azobenzene-based bent-core liquid crystals demonstrate a variety of mesomorphic behaviors and photochromic properties which are desirable for optical switching. Nowadays azobenzene-based bent-core liquid crystal (ABLC) compounds usually exhibit at least one of the following traits which are unfavorable for practical applications: (1) narrow temperature windows of nematic phases, (2) high phase transition temperature, and (3) long period of light stimulation to reach photostationary states. In this study, a series of ABLC compounds <b>4a–4g</b> were synthesized by adding azo functional groups and chlorine substituent to the central bent-cores to form 4-chloro-1,3-dizaophenylene bent-cores. These ABLC compounds were characterized by i. fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS) for their structures, ii. differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM) for their mesogenic properties, and iii. ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and POM for their photosensitivity. The experimental results show that all compounds exhibited broad temperature windows of mesogenic phases. In particular, compound <b>4c</b> showed a broad temperature window of 63.8 °C for nematic phase. Molecular simulations indicate that the molecular dipole moments of compounds <b>4a–4g</b> are closely associated with the temperatures of Sm – N phase transition and temperature ranges of nematic phases. In addition, simulation results reveal that the terminal alkyl chains exhibit a diphasic effect on the molecular polarity: extending the terminal chain can initially reduce and then increase the molecular dipole moments due to the severe structural disorder of overly extended terminal chain. These findings indicate that the intermolecular forces play a vital role in shaping the mesogenic behavior of ABLCs. Comprehensive characterizations of photochromatic properties show that <b>4c</b> was highly photosensitive and displayed rapid photoisomerization processes. At room temperature, compound <b>4c </b>dissolved in ethyl acetate solution can reach photostationary state in 10 seconds. At 95 °C, compound <b>4c</b> in nematic phase became isotropic liquid under UV-irradiation in 3 seconds due to the forward <i>trans – cis</i> photoisomerization and can be restored to be nematic under natural visible light in 5 seconds because of the backward <i>cis – trans</i> photoisomerization. This study linking the mechanistic details with mesogenic properties provides valuable insights to improve future design of azobenzene bent-core liquid crystals for practical applications especially in photonic applications.</p><p><br></p><p>Pertinent molecular structure files (mol2) can be downloaded from</p><p><a href="https://github.com/er1czz/ABLC">https://github.com/er1czz/ABLC</a><br></p><p></p>

Three imidazole crystals with high molecular dipole moments exhibit remarkable ML effects that are attributed to the formation of polar molecular couples in crystals. Imidazole and benzimidazole crystals are MFC-active, but phenanthrimidazole one is MFC-inactive.

Lipophilicity Prediction

Molecular polarity governs lipophilicity, which in turn determines important agrochemical and environmental properties, such as soil sorption and bioconcentration of organic compounds. Since the C–F bond is the most polar in organic chemistry, the orientation of fluorine substituents originating from the rotation around C–C(F) bonds should affect the polarity and, consequently, the physicochemical and biological properties of fluorine-containing agrochemicals. Accordingly, this study aims to determine the most likely conformers of some fluorine-containing agrochemicals and to correlate their molecular dipole moments with the respective n-octanol/water partition coefficients (log P), in order to investigate the dependence of the lipophilicity with the molecular conformation.
