Hydrogen Bonded

Hydrogen-bonded ferroelectric liquid crystals (HBFLC) are designed and synthesized from nonmesogenic chiral proton donor compound of (R)-([Formula: see text])-Methylsuccinic acid (MSA) and mesogenic proton acceptor compound of 4-undecyloxybenzoic acid (11OBA) in a different mole ratio. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H-bond) between the nonmesogenic and mesogenic compounds have been confirmed through experimental Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies. The steric hindrance and inductive effects of the present complex and its influence on the structure are discussed. A rich phase polymorphism in the liquid crystalline complex has been studied using polarizing optical microscope (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The chiral phases observed in the present complex are due to the presence of lone pair (n) to anti-bonding ([Formula: see text]) transition symmetry which is validated by DFT studies. A noteworthy observation of induced smectic A[Formula: see text](Sm A[Formula: see text]) by quenching of traditional phase (nematic) has been identified and the reason for the same has been discussed by DFT studies. The unusual phase order of Sm A[Formula: see text], smectic C[Formula: see text](Sm C[Formula: see text]) and smectic G[Formula: see text][Formula: see text](Sm G[Formula: see text]) mesogenic phases are observed. The other liquid crystalline parameters are evaluated by experimental and theoretical calculations and the same has been compared. Increased tilt angle in liquid crystal (LC) molecules has been theoretically analyzed by natural bond orbital (NBO) studies. Stability of the HBFLC phases and its origination mechanism have been discussed with the help of highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO) energies.

The infrared spectra were registered for series of three-ring liquid crystalline esters, differing in the structure of alkyl chain, in the substitution of benzene ring by fluorine atoms and in the type of helicoidal structure in the chiral smectic CA phase with antiferroelectric properties. The influence of molecular structure on the shift of signals coming from carbonyl group, located in the rigid core, was observed.

Gold(I) pyrazolate complex ([Au3Pz3]C10TEG) has been widely studied due to its interesting liquid crystalline properties by exhibiting the discotic hexagonal columnar arrangement. Generally, the liquid crystalline properties of the gold complex were confirmed based on their differential scanning calorimetry thermogram and polarized optical microscopy (POM) images. However, there is still no in-depth study on the phase transition in liquid crystals of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG especially on its structural change at variable temperature. In this study, the resulting liquid crystalline properties of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG upon being heated and cooled was extensively demonstrated via variable-temperature POM (VT-POM) and small angle X-ray scattering (VT-SAXS). Based on the VT-POM images, it was indicated that [Au3Pz3]C10TEG displayed a fan-shaped texture for typical arrangements of discotic hexagonal columnar of liquid crystals. Moreover, VT-SAXS results was in good agreement with the VT-POM images as it showed that [Au3Pz3]C10TEG might consist of two types of stacking system, which are ordered and disordered hexagonal discotic arrangements. Likewise, VT-SAXS analysis also demonstrated that hexagonal columnar mesophase of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG could be recovered even after the heating and cooling for two cycles.
