Abstract3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene derivatives with aromatic, in most cases mesogenic, side groups were synthesized and their liquid crystal behaviour was characterized. These monomers were polymerized oxidatively to charged, electrically conductive polythiophenes. X-ray and atomic force microscopy studies were performed. Films of theses polythiophenes achieved via in situ polymerization were prone to a significant increase of the conductivity by annealing.

Contrary to literature reports, the o-allyloxy- and crotyloxy-acetophenone-oximes (2a, 2b) are transformed to nitrones, which undergo regio- and stereoselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, both on microwave heating under solvent free conditions and refluxing in toluene, to afford novel cycloadducts (5a, 5b); the oxazepine-N-oxide (3a) reported to be formed in 98% yield was obtained only as a minor product (~10%). However, o-cinnamyloxy-acetophenone-oxime (2c) under similar conditions undergoes intramolecular N-alkylation to afford nitrone (3c). The reactions carried out under microwave irradiation are cleaner, require shorter reaction times, and have higher yields. Corresponding intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of N-methylnitrones (B), generated in situ from o-alkenylmethoxy-acetophenones (1a–1c) and N-methylhydroxylamine under solvent-free microwave irradiation conditions, are completely regio- and stereoselective, require much shorter reaction times, and afford adducts (4a–4c) in higher yields, as compared with their thermal counterparts.Key words: cycloadditions, nitrones, oximes, o-alkenylmethoxy-acetophenones, microwave, isoxazolidines.

We describe a technique for creating multi-coloured liquid crystalline laser gels which may be selectively and reversibly wavelength-tuned by applying a mechanical strain.

AbstractLiquid crystalline phases, consisting of nonionic surfactant and water, are exploited as templates for the synthesis of inorganic nanostructures In this approach the aqueous domains of a lyotropic liquid crystal phase function as a confining medium, in which the polymerisation of a watersoluble precursor takes place without destroying the nanostructure. Conducting the prepration of mesoporous silica in a lyotropic liquid crystal phase has considerable advantages over previous routes towards mesoporous ceramic oxides. (i) The nanostructure of the solid can be predicted a priori by knowing the phase structure of the liquid crystal before solidification, (ii) this approach allows the use of nonionic surfactants as templates, (iii) the progress of the reaction can be observed by a variety of methods, such as polarised light optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and deuterium NMR spectroscopy, all of which are noninvasive. The synthesis and a new way of monitoring the temporal evolution of the inorganic nanostructure using deuterium NMR spectroscopy are described. The results show unambiguously that the lyotropic liquid crystal phase acts as a template for the nanostructure.
