Thermotropic liquid–crystalline properties of 4,4′-dialkoxy-3,3′-diaminobiphenyl compounds and their precursors

Listed in DataCite

A series of 4,4ʹ-dialkoxy-3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl compounds were synthesised by three-step procedure that involves alkylation, nitration and reduction reactions.

Description

Their chemical structures were characterised by FTIR, 1 H and 13 C spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Their thermotropic liquid–crystalline (LC) properties were examined by a number of experimental techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), polarising optical microscopy (POM) and variable temperature X-ray diffraction (VT-XRD).

The 4,4ʹ-dialkoxy-3,3ʹ-dinitrobipheyl compounds, precursors to the diamine compounds, were also examined for their thermotropic LC properties. POM studies of focal conic textures and VT-XRD of the 3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl derivatives having flexible alkyl chains (C 6 –C 12 ) exhibited the smectic A (SmA) phase independent of the length of alkyl chains. Similarly, the 3,3ʹ-dinitrobiphenyl derivatives containing alkyl chains C 7 , and C 9 –C 11 exhibit the SmA phase, those containing C 8 formed the smectic C (SmC) phase and C 12 formed both the SmA and smectic B (SmB) phases, respectively.

The 3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl derivatives had excellent thermal stability in the temperature range of 237–329°C, while those of 3,3ʹ-dinitrobiphenyl derivatives were in the temperature range of 270–321°C. The 3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl derivatives emitted UV light both in chloroform and acetonitrile.
