摘要: (E)-N-alkyl-4-(2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl) pyridinium bromides (hemicyanine bromides) with C14, C16 and C18 straight alkyl chains are described. The thermal behaviour of these compounds was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) optical microscopy. textures observed in polarised light revealed that exhibit a smectic A mesophase. focal-conic fan texture observed, together regions showing homeotropic alignment. phase the compound chain can be summarized as: Cr1·99·Cr2·249·SmA·268·I (dec.). transition temperatures rather independent length chain. have strong tendency to supercool glassy structural model for mesophase is proposed. bromide anion hemicyanine replaced bulky tetrakis(β-diketonato)lanthanide(III) anion. As β-diketone, 2,4-pentanedione (acetylacetone, acac) 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione (dibenzoylmethane, DBM) chosen. None lanthanide complexes containing chromophore shows either melt directly an isotropic liquid, or decompose without melting.
