Liquid crystals are unique in their properties and use and has an essential role in the area of technological applications such as electrical, optical, displayers, temperature maps, and switching materials. This study aimed to synthesize hexaethynylbenzene derivatives starting from 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene benzene as a central core substituted with three aromatic ring and three armed of 2-chloro-4,6-bis((3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-yl) oxy)-1,3,5-triazine. These molecules are formed by the covalent linking of three arms symmetrically to a central core which may be attached to the central core through flexible, semi-flexible or rigid linkers. The substitution occured at the acetylenic periphery on the central benzene ring and was achieved efficiently by Sonogashira coupling. The six-armed compounds based on the benzene core was mixed with the complementary 4-dodecyloxybenzoic acid 1:1 ratio, which already possessed liquid crystal property to increase the formation of these resulting in an organic salt. The obtained organic salts were investigated for their liquid crystal behaviour by polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All the intermediate and final compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
