The invention belongs to the field of organic
material chemistry, and discloses a preparation method and properties of star-like
graphene conjugated bridged benzophenanthrene discotic liquid crystals, and the star-like
graphene conjugated bridged benzophenanthrene discotic liquid crystals have structures shown in general formulas I, II and III. The compounds as shown in the general formulas I, II and III are mainly synthesized from a polybrominated hexaphenylbenzene compound and a benzophenanthrene borate derivative through Suzuki-Miyaura cross-
coupling, the steps are simple and efficient, the atom
utilization rate is high, and the yield is stable. The compounds have reversible thermotropic
liquid crystal properties, most of the mesophases are hexagonal (Colh) and rectangular (Colr) columnar phases, the
melting point and clearing point of the
concatemer compounds are effectively improved through expansion of the conjugation degree and introduction of ortho-position methyl, the temperature range of the
liquid crystal mesophases is widened, the types of the
liquid crystal mesophases are enriched, and the compounds have rich self-
assembly morphologies in organic solvents. Meanwhile, good
fluorescence emission and absolute
quantum yield are achieved in a solution and a thin film aggregation state, and the maximum emission
wavelength and the maximum
quantum yield in the solution are 401-409 nm and 63.89% respectively (the maximum emission
wavelength and the maximum
quantum yield in the aggregation state are 415-434 nm and 61.38% in the aggregation state).
