Shape-persistent macrocycles with intraannular alkyl groups: some structural limits of discotic liquid crystals with an inverted structure.


ABSTRACT: The synthesis and thermal properties of new shape-persistent macrocycles of different sizes decorated with intraannular alkyl chains are described. The alkyl chain length is in all cases sufficient to cross the rings and to fill their interior completely. The investigation of the thermal behavior has shown that the smaller cycles do not exhibit thermotropic mesophases. Single crystal x-ray analysis indicates that the anisotropy in these compounds is too small to describe them as plates rather than spheres. For the larger macrocycles it is shown that longer adaptable substituents decrease the phase transition temperatures compared to previously described structures.
