We present the high pressure phase transition behavior of a gold(I) –NHCs complex, in which the NHCs include one long N-alkyl substituent and one N-acetamido group, The amide group is an excellent hydrogen bonding motif to provide interaction force between molecule. The gold (I) – NHC series form metallogel in DMSO at room temperature. PXRD studies show that self-assembly of [Au(C16,amide-imy)2 ][NO3] forms a lamellar structure with tubular architecture around the metal ion head core. Through Coulombic, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions between solvent and the amide group under ambient environment. In the high pressure PXRD experiment of [Au(C16,amide-imy)2][NO3] complex , the lamellar structure phase become less and less , but the long range order behavior start to reveal by bragg's Debye ring grown up in the 2-D diffraction pattern when the pressure increased, As pressure up to 2GPa, The indexing shown the long range order with 3-D symmetry by monoclinic Laue symmetry. This is the first example that phase transition from lyotropic liquid crystal gel phase to long range order solid phase. The inter-molecule interaction and structure will be presented in this report.

The arrangement of nanoscale building blocks into patterns with microscale periodicity is challenging to achieve via self-assembly processes. Here, we report on the phase transition-driven collective assembly of gold nanoparticles in a thermotropic liquid crystal. A temperature-induced transition from the isotropic to the nematic phase leads to the assembly of individual nanometre-sized particles into arrays of micrometre-sized aggregates, whose size and characteristic spacing can be tuned by varying the cooling rate. This fully reversible process offers hierarchical control over structural order on the molecular, nanoscopic, and microscopic level and is an interesting model system for the programmable patterning of nanocomposites with access to micrometre-sized periodicities.

A series of dodecyl 1-thio-β-D-glycosides has been synthesized and characterized (DSC, NMR, CP MAS, X-ray diffraction) as possible new marking materials with liquid-crystalline properties. These compounds undergo solid to liquid crystal phase transitions at various temperatures, which depend on the nature of the carbohydrate part of the structure. Their liquid-crystalline phases show extreme shear thinning behaviour.Key words: liquid crystal, powder X-ray diffraction, phase transition, thioglycoside, solid-state NMR, marking material
