Transition metals complexed to ordered mesophases. Synthesis, mesomorphism, and X-ray and EPR characterization of a homologous series of N-(4-dodecyloxysalicylidene)-4[prime]-alkylanilines complexed to oxovanadium(IV)
Abstract
A number of mesogenic bis[4-(dodecyloxy)-N-(4[prime]-R[sub n]-phenyl)salicylideneiminato]oxovanadium(IV) complexes (1-7, R[sub n] = CH[sub 3], C[sub 2]H[sub 5], C[sub 3]H[sub 7], C[sub 4]H[sub 9], C[sub 6]H[sub 13], OC[sub 6]H[sub 13], C[sub 8]H[sub 17], respectively) have been synthesized and characterized by polarizing microscope observations, DSC measurements, X-ray diffraction, and EPR spectroscopy. These compounds are thermally stable and do not decompose on melting. Complexes 1-15 show two different solid phases K[sub 1] and K[sub 2]. In addition, 4 and 5 exhibit a liquid-crystalline smectic A phase (monotropic in 4 and enantiotropic in 5). On the other hand, 6 and 7 along with a single solid phase, display a smectic C (enantiotropic in 6 and monotropic in 7) and an enantiotropic smectic A phase. Variable-temperature EPR spectra are accounted for on the basis of paramagnetic metal ions experiencing different magnetic environments. For each mesophase, matching X-ray, and EPR data, the molecular packing mode is suggested. Comparing 1-7 with the homologous copper complexes, the contribution of the metallic center to the mesomorphic properties is discussed. 19 refs., 5 figs., 2 tab.
