Columnar liquid crystalline phases through hydrogen bonding and nanoscale segregation

Abstract: Two columnar phases forming 2,4,6-triarylamino-1,3,5-triazines have been investigated in binary mixtures with calamitic and non-liquid crystalline benzoic acids carrying one or two alkoxy chains at the aromatic core. The triazines form hydrogen bonded aggregates with the complementary acids. Each investigated equimolar mixture exhibits a columnar mesophase due to segregation of the H-bonded polar core region from the lipophilic aliphatic molecular segments. The cross sectional shape of cylindrical aggregates a… Show more

“…The higher intensity of the latter at the meridian is relatedt o the intracolumnar separation of the mesogens along the fibre direction. For ac lear comparative discussion, we start the structurala nalysis in the subsequent sections with compound 4b with an intermediate number of aliphatic chains (15), fol-lowed by mesogen 4c with the largest portion of aliphatic chains (18) and conclude with 4a with only 12 chains.…”

“…A distortion from Col h to a Col r is obtained when the molecules project an elliptical shape along the column's axis (Figure 4). [14] In this case the presence of the DOS counterion, which because of its shape can be organised with the flexible aliphatic chain aligned in the direction of the aliphatic periphery of the cation, hinders the molecular rotation of the nondisclike molecules, generating an elliptical cross-section. Within the rectangular arrangements, two different symmetries characterised by two different plane groups can be distinguished.…”

“…A number of differing molecular architectures is possible for liquid crystal trimers; for example, linear [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], terminally/laterally connected [19][20][21], cyclic [22,23], tribranched/star-shaped [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and mixed calamitic/discotic trimers [19,31,32].…”
