- PublicationMétadonnées seulementMacrocyclic Effects in the Mesomorphic Properties of Liquid-Crystalline Pillar[5]- and Pillar[6]arenes(2013)
; ; Nierengarten, Jean-FrancoisWhereas the reaction of 1,4-bis(2-bromoethyloxy)benzene (4) with paraformaldehyde in the presence of BF3·Et2O afforded exclusively the cyclopentameric pillar[5]arene deriv. (5), both cyclopenta- and cyclohexameric macrocycles 5 and 6 were obtained when the reaction of 4 with paraformaldehyde was performed at 45 °C in CHCl3 with FeCl3 as the catalyst. Treatment of compds. 4-6 with sodium azide provided the corresponding polyazides, to which a cyanobiphenyl building block was subsequently grafted to generate model compd. 1, pillar[5]arene 2, and pillar[6]arene 3, bearing two, ten and twelve mesomorphic subunits, resp. The liq.-cryst. and thermal properties of the compds. were investigated by polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Comparison of the liq.-cryst. properties of macrocycles 2 and 3 with those of 1 revealed the strong influence of the macrocyclic pillar[n]arene core on the mesomorphic properties. Whereas only a monotropic mesophase was obsd. for 1, a broad enantiotropic mesophase was evidenced for both pillar[n]arene derivs. [on SciFinder(R)] - PublicationMétadonnées seulementDesign of liquid-crystalline gold nanoparticles by click chemistryMesomorphic alkyne-based 1st- and 2nd-generation dendrons were grafted onto Au nanoparticles carrying azide groups under click reaction conditions. The nanoparticles decorated with the dendrons displayed liq.-cryst. properties and good thermal stability. [on SciFinder(R)]

; - PublicationAccès libreAccordion-optimized DEPT experiments(2011)
; In this contribution, a pulse sequence is described for recording accordion-optimized DEPT experiments. The proposed ACCORDEPT experiment detects a wide range of one-bond coupling constants using accordion optimization. As a proof of concept, this strategy has been applied to a mesogen containing a large range of one-bond 1JCH coupling constants associated with the various structural elements. The ACCORDEPT experiment afforded significant enhancements for the resonances with the larger 1JCH couplings, similar SNR for aliphatic resonances, but reduced SNR for aliphatic resonances as compared with the standard DEPT experiment. In addition, the ACCORDEPT is straightforward to implement, does not require any supplementary calibration procedures and can be used under automated conditions without difficulty by inexperienced users. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementAccordion-optimized DEPT experiments(2010)

; ; Nierengarten, Jean-FrançoisNew liquid-crystalline pillar[5]arene derivatives have been prepared by grafting first- generation Percec-type poly(benzylether) dendrons onto the macrocyclic scaffold. The molecules adopt a disc-shaped structure perfectly suited for self-organization into a columnar liquid-crystalline phase. In this way, the pillar[5]arene cores are piled up, thus forming a nanotubular wire encased within a shell of peripheral dendrons. The capability of pillar[5]arenes to form inclusion complexes has been also exploited. Specifically, detailed binding studies have been carried out in solution with 1,6- dicyanohexane as the guest. Inclusion complexes have also been prepared in the solid state. Supramolecular organization into the Colh mesophase has been deduced from X-ray diffraction data and found to be similar to that observed within the crystal lattice of a model inclusion complex prepared from 1,4-dimethoxypillar[5]arene and 1,6- dicyanohexane. - PublicationAccès libreBuilding liquid crystals from the 5-fold symmetrical pillar[5]arene core
