Photo-Responsive and Electrically Switchable Mesophases in a Novel Class of Achiral Bent-Core Azo Compounds
The first examples of electrically switchable and photo-responsive mesophases in a novel class of bent-core azo compounds, consisting of only five aromatic rings and no imino functionality (–CHLN–), are reported. The mesophases have been identified as B 1 , B 2 and a new mesophase, B x , on the basis of the results of polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffr...
متن کاملFluorine Containing Nonsymmetrical Five-Ring Achiral Banana-Shaped Compounds With Columnar and Synclinic Antiferroelectric Layered Phases
The phase transitional behavior of two homologous series of five-ring banana-shaped compounds comprising fluorine substituents synthesized through covalent linking of two chemically dissimilar rod-like anisometric cores (arms) to central 1,3-phenylene is reported. The novelty of these molecules originates from the fact that the molecules are highly nonsymmetrical. One of the arms, which is eith...
متن کاملFerroelectric smectic phase formed by achiral straight core mesogens.
We report electro-optic experiments in liquid crystalline freestanding films of achiral hockey stick shaped mesogens with a straight aromatic core. The material forms two smectic mesophases. In the higher temperature phase, a spontaneous polarization exists in the smectic layer plane and the films show polar switching in electric fields. It is the first example of a ferroelectric phase formed b...
متن کاملGeneration of frustrated liquid crystal phases by mixing an achiral nematic-smectic-C mesogen with an antiferroelectric chiral smectic liquid crystal.
By mixing the achiral liquid crystal HOAB, exhibiting a nematic (N)-smectic-C (SmC) mesophase sequence, with the chiral antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) (S,S)-M7BBM7, forming the antiferroelectric SmC(a)(*) phase, at least seven different mesophases have been induced which neither component forms on its own: a twist-grain-boundary (TGB(*)) phase, two or three blue phases, the untilted Sm...
متن کاملField-induced transformations in the biaxial order of non-tilted phases in a bent-core smectic liquid crystal
The structural and electro-optic investigations of an achiral bent-core molecule in SmAPA phase, in which the polar directors in the neighboring layers are arranged antiferroelectrically, show that it undergoes transformation from one biaxial to another biaxial structure via a quasi-stable uniaxial structure on the application of the electric field. The noncontinuous change in biaxiality is exp...
