Synthesis of multi-Functional Discotic Liquid Crystal Dimers

The scarcity of research about nitrogen containing heterocyclic discotic liquid crystal has made it an interesting subject for chemists. In this thesis, we will discuss the synthesis and properties of four kinds of new dimeric discotic liquid crystal in details.
The first type of new dimeric discotic liquid crystals were synthesized based on a novel core structure, dibenzo[a,c]phenazine. All dimers linked by a hexyl-chain spacer exhibited columar phase. The range of mesomorphic temperature became wide as the chain length of spacer increased. Simultaneously, we also changed terminal chain length to investigate the influence on mesomorphic properties by attached terminal group.
The second type of new dimeric discotic liquid crystals, which contained the dibenzoquinoxaline skeleton, didn¡¦t show the properties of mesomorphic phase due to the poverty of planality.
The third type of molecules, which also have the dibenzoquinoxaline skeleton, were the banana-shaped discotic liquid crystals. We anticipated these dimeric molecules would demonstrate another special mesogenic phase.
The last type of dimeric discotic liquid crystals were the extension of our previously research. These molecules, which comprised 5,6,11,12,17,18- hexaazatrinaphthylene skeleton, would be good candidates for using as a n-type material.
