Synthesis and specific features of mesomorphic behavior of new polysubstituted triphenylenes
Zemtsova,Zheleznov
, p. 1743 - 1748 (2004)
Previously unknown 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(dodecyloxy)triphenylene and -(tetradecyloxy)triphenylene were synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were proved by elemental analysis and spectral methods. Polymesomorphism was found for the first time and studied for substances of the hexaalkoxytriphenylene homologic series, as well as liotropic mesomorphism in a series of organic solvents.
Synthesis and investigation of polysubstituted triphenylenes with a predictable type of mesomorphism

This paper reports on synthesis and investigation of columnar mesophases of the new members of the homologous series of nitro and amino derivatives of hexaalkoxytriphenylenes, whose mesomorphism was predicted earlier. The forecast is in good agreement with the experimental data. The effect of the introduction of the donor and acceptor groups into the central fragment of triphenylene on the phase transition temperature, texture, and range of existence of columnar mesophases is examined. The predicting ability of the molecular parameters suggested previously for the series under analysis is discussed. It is found that introduction of a nitro group, which is a strong electron acceptor, into the central fragment of triphenylene lowers the melting temperature of the compound versus its analog and does not promote columnar mesomorphism in the lower nonmesomorphous homologs. At the same time, this slightly expands the range of existence of the mesophase in higher homologs.
