Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new materials, and in particular to a novel liquid crystal supramolecular compound and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Liquid crystal is a soft substance between solid and liquid, possessing the anisotropy of solids while also possessing the continuity and fluidity of liquids. Since its discovery, liquid crystals have been widely used in various fields, such as household appliances, industrial equipment, and GPS navigation systems. It can be said that liquid crystals are ubiquitous.

[0003] As a liquid crystal photosensitive material, azobenzene liquid crystal molecules based on pillar[5]arene are very attractive. Conventional polymer photosensitive materials have uncertain compositions, and simple azobenzene derivatives undergo severe hydrogen polymerization, while pillar[5]arene azobenzene liquid crystal molecules overcome these shortcomings. The tubular pillar[5]arene macrocyclic skeleton provides sufficient free space for azobenzene to achieve reversible photoisomerization, so they exhibit excellent light-triggered modulation of surface free energy, wettability, and photoinduced orientation.

[0004] Liquid crystals can be classified based on a variety of criteria. Due to the different shapes of the molecules, they can be divided into three categories: banana-shaped, rod-shaped, and disc-shaped liquid crystals. Due to differences in molecular weight, they can be divided into two major categories: liquid crystal polymers and small molecule liquid crystals. Due to their different compositional conditions and components, liquid crystals can be divided into lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals. Thermotropic liquid crystals are pure substances whose liquid crystal properties change with temperature. Lyotropic liquid crystals, on the other hand, are mixtures whose properties change in different solvents and concentrations.

[0005] Thermotropic liquid crystals can be divided into three main categories: nematic, cholesteric, and smectic phases, with Smectic A and Smectic C being the most common. In the smectic phase, liquid crystal molecules are arranged in layers, with their principal axes parallel within the layers. In the SmA phase, the orientation of the liquid crystal compounds is perpendicular to the layers, while in the SmC phase, the liquid crystal axes are tilted relative to the layers. Molecules can move back and forth and left and right, but not between upper and lower layers. Because the smectic phase is ordered, it typically occurs at low temperatures. In the nematic phase, the principal axes of the molecules remain essentially parallel, but the center of mass is more disorganized than in the smectic phase, resulting in greater mobility. Most cholesteric liquid crystal molecules are derivatives of cholesterol, have a helical structure, and are highly optically active. These molecules are, in fact, a special form of the nematic phase. Other phases include the blue phase, columnar phase, and three-dimensional cubic phase.

[0006] Obtaining liquid crystal materials through a series of methods is particularly important in today's society. Designing and synthesizing a series of liquid crystal molecules and studying their properties is one of the current hot topics in the field of liquid crystal research. Summary of the Invention

The reaction begins at 120°C (after reaching 120°C, heat to 200°C in 5°C increments) and proceeds for 4 h. Thin-layer chromatography confirms the reaction is complete. After the reaction is complete, allow the product to cool to room temperature, add an appropriate amount of water to the round-bottom flask, and then pour it into a beaker. Adjust the pH of the solution to approximately 3-4 with dilute HCl (2 M), then extract with ethyl acetate (30 mL x 3). The organic layers are combined, dried, and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield a crude yellow product.

The crude product was separated and purified by column chromatography (methanol:chloroform = 1:90). 0.043 g of a yellow solid was obtained with a yield of 25%.

[0065] Target compound structure confirmation

[0066] The H NMR spectra of the target compounds were determined (e.g. Figure 1 ) and C NMR spectra (such as Figure 2 ), and then compare the measured data with the data simulated by Chemdraw software to determine that the target compound obtained is the target compound designed and synthesized by us.

[0067] The liquid crystal properties of target compound 9 were tested by polarizing optical microscopy (POM). The results showed that compound 9 is a liquid crystal with a wide temperature range, namely, the rising temperature range is Cr RT SmA 122℃ Iso and the cooling temperature range is 116℃ SmA RT Cr. We found that under the polarizing microscope, target compound 9 showed a black area ( Figure 3 a), similar to an isotropic liquid, which means that the orientation and arrangement of the molecules are perpendicular to the layer plane, and this texture is a typical feature of smectic liquid crystal compounds. The compound begins to show the SmA phase ( Figure 3 b), then the temperature was raised to 65 °C, and compound 9 showed a clearer SmA phase ( Figure 3 c), when compound 9 is heated to 122 °C, the SmA phase disappears and becomes an isotropic liquid; during the cooling process, the same SmA phase is also observed between 116 °C and RT ( Figure 3 (d)).

[0068] This triazole liquid crystal molecule has an alkoxy chain containing azobenzene at one end and a pillar[5]arene at the other end. The flexible chains of this compound overlap with each other, and the rigid cores are arranged in parallel in a shoulder-to-shoulder manner to form staggered layers, which are staggered and eventually present in the form of a bilayer phase, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, target compound 9 is usually in a relatively stable trans configuration. Due to the π-π* electronic transition, it has a strong absorption peak at about 360nm. However, due to the n-π* electronic transition, a very weak absorption band appears near 455nm. Figure 5 As shown, the target molecule 9 is dissolved in dichloromethane and irradiated with ultraviolet light (wavelength of 365nm). As the irradiation time increases, the energy obtained by the compound increases, and its azobenzene chromophore gradually changes to the cis configuration. Accordingly, the molecule also changes from linear to curved. The absorption peak near 455nm corresponding to the n-π* electronic transition slowly increases, while the absorption peak near 360nm gradually weakens. After irradiating with ultraviolet light for 50s, the absorbance of compound 9 at 360nm no longer changes substantially, which indicates that the cis-trans isomerism of this compound has reached equilibrium. Since the energy of the compound in the trans configuration is lower and more stable, the energy of the compound in the cis configuration is high and usually unstable, so the ultraviolet light is removed. Under visible light, compound 9 gradually changes from cis to trans again, and the absorbance near 360nm gradually increases again. After about 2.5min, the height of the target molecule absorption peak no longer increases substantially, and is roughly the same as the height when not irradiated with ultraviolet light. Obviously, the compound is completely in the trans form again. In summary, pillararene azo compound 9 also exhibits reversible photoresponsive properties in organic solvents.

[0070] The present invention uses p-nitrophenol and methyl gallate as raw materials to design and synthesize azide compounds, and synthesizes the required terminal alkyne of pillar[5]arene from p-diphenol. Finally, a pillar[5]arene liquid crystal compound is designed and synthesized using the Click reaction as the key step. This structure contains a 1,2,3-triazole core, with pillar[5]arene at one end and an alkoxy chain of an azo group at the other end. The target compound is separated and purified by column chromatography, and then its liquid crystal properties and photoresponse properties are studied. The research results show that the compound will show SmA phase regardless of whether the temperature is increased or decreased; under ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation, its absorbance gradually decreases and increases with time, while the molecular energy gradually increases and decreases, thereby causing cis-trans tautomerism.

[0071] Currently, research on pillararene liquid crystal compounds is relatively limited, and the liquid crystal phases that have been discovered are mostly smectic. This type of azobenzene macrocyclic oligomer, due to the presence of ether bonds, possesses a rich, flexible, long aliphatic chain. It exhibits a liquid crystal phase (SmA phase) over a wide temperature range, exhibits good photoresponsive behavior, and exhibits excellent film-forming properties, making it a novel photosensitive material with unlimited potential. Overall, research on this type of compound lays a good foundation for further exploration of new pillararene liquid crystal molecules.

[0072] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
