Problems solved by technology

However, the refractive index of liquid crystal filling materials currently used to prepare photonic crystals is generally between 1.5 and 1.6; for example, in commonly used colloidal crystal templates, the refractive index of silicon dioxide is 1.45, and that of polystyrene 1.59, therefore, the refractive index contrast of photonic crystals obtained by the above materials is not high

[0045] Example 1 8-(3,4,5-tris(octenyloxy)benzoate) octanediol ester of 1-fullerene acetate (C 8 -C 8 -C 60 -ene) (molecular structure such as Figure 1 Shown) Preparation:

[0046] (1) Synthesis and characterization of 8-bromo-1-octene

[0047] To a THF (100 mL) solution containing potassium tert-butoxide (0.12 mol), was added a THF (50 mL) solution of 1,8-dibromooctane (0.1 mol), and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Afterwards, the reaction solution was poured into deionized water (200 mL), extracted with ether (3×60 mL), and the organic phase was collected. The organic phase was sequentially washed with 5% Na 2 CO 3 The solution was washed twice with water and three times with deionized water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and rotary evaporated. The collected crude product was distilled by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain the pure product as a colorless liquid. The above reaction process is as follows:

Abstract

The invention discloses a fullerene liquid crystal compound which has a high refractive index and contains double-bond functional groups, a preparation method of the liquid crystal compound, and an application of the liquid crystal compound serving as a filling material in the field of photonic crystals. The fullerene liquid crystal molecular structure is composed of three parts, namely a rigid fullerene acid part, a flexible double bond-containing gallic acid derivative part, and a flexible chain segment part connecting the rigid fullerene acid part and the flexible double-bond-containing gallic acid derivative part; the precursor of the flexible chain segment is diol; and two ends of the flexible chain segment are respectively connected with the fullerene acid part and the double bond-containing gallic acid derivative part through ester bonds. The fullerene liquid crystal compound has high refractive index, so that the compound can well replace a liquid crystal molecule with low refractive index to serve as the filling material of the photonic crystal, and the photonic crystal with high refractive index contrast ratio and excellent performance is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid crystal compound and the application of the liquid crystal compound in preparing tunable photonic crystals. Background technique [0002] Photonic crystals are materials with ordered structures formed by arranging two or more materials with different dielectric constants in a certain periodic order in space. When the electromagnetic wave propagates in this material with a periodic structure, it will be modulated by the periodic potential field formed by the dielectric, thus forming a photonic energy band similar to the semiconductor energy band structure. If there is no overlap between the photonic energy bands, a photonic bandgap or a photonic bang gap (PBG) will be formed. Liquid crystal has a very large optical anisotropy and is very sensitive to changes in the external environment (electric field, magnetic field, temperature or polarized light, etc.), so it has attracted great attention as one of the filling mater...
