Intrachain flexibility constraints on phase stabilities and odd-even effects in multiple smectic-A and nematic liquid crystals

Journal Article Dowell, F - Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

The importance of the flexibility of n-alkyl tail chains in real liquid-crystal systems is reviewed. Two new microscopic, molecular statistical-physics theories (a full statistical theory and a simpler but accurate approximate theory) for the intrachain constraints on the n-alkyl tail-chain flexibility are presented and are compared with each other and with an old, more approximate theory for tail-chain flexibility used in earlier papers. The new approximate approach is computationally much faster than the full statistical method and is the first treatment to generate and explain odd-even effects in multiple smectic-A phases and the first treatment to generate and explain odd-evenmore »« less

Odd–Even Structural Sensitivity on Dynamics in Network-Forming Ionic Liquids

Journal Article Yang, Ke ; Cai, Zhikun ; Tyagi, Madhusudan ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

As a compelling case of sensitive structure–property relationship, an odd–even effect refers to the alternating trend of physical or chemical properties on odd/even number of repeating structural units. In crystalline or semicrystalline materials, such odd–even effects emerge as manifestations of differences in the periodic packing patterns of molecules. Therefore, due to the lack of long-range order, such an odd–even phenomenon is not expected for dynamic properties in amorphous state. Herein, we report the discovery of a remarkable odd–even effect of dynamical properties in the liquid phase. In a class of glass-forming diammonium citrate ionic liquids, using incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scatteringmore »« less

Odd–even structural sensitivity on dynamics in network-forming ionic liquids

Journal Article Yang, Ke ; Cai, Zhikun ; Tyagi, Madhusudan ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Understanding structural sensitivity on properties of materials is an important step toward the rational design of materials. As a compelling case of sensitive structure-property relationship, an odd-even effect refers to the alternating trend of physical or chemical properties on odd/even number of repeating structural units. In crystalline or semi-crystalline materials, such odd-even variations of macroscopic properties emerge as manifestations of differences in the periodic packing patterns of molecules. Therefore, due to the lack of long-range order, such odd-even phenomenon is not expected in liquids.

Ordered structures in a series of liquid crystalline poly(ester imide)s

Journal Article Pardey, R ; Shen, D ; Gabori, P A ; ... - Macromolecules; (United States)

A series of poly(ester imide)s (PEIMs) has been synthesized from N-[4-(chloroformyl) phenyl]-4-(chloroformyl)phthalimide and different diols with methylene units of 4 to 12 (n). PEIMs with both even and odd methylene units exhibit a monotropic mesophase behavior during cooling due to the supercooling necessary for crystallization. Identification of this mesophase as a monotropic liquid crystal with smectic A order has been carried out via differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), small angle X-ray scattering, polarized light microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the methylene units in these chain molecules are also largely responsible for the formationmore »« less

Decoding Liquid Crystal Oligomer Phase Transitions: Toward Molecularly Engineered Shape Changing Materials

Journal Article Guo, Yuanhang ; Lee, Jieun ; Son, Jinha ; ... - Macromolecules

This work details an integrated investigation of liquid crystal (LC) oligomers that combines experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a detailed understanding of the molecular structure of LC oligomers and the mechanism underlying their phase transition temperatures. We synthesized and characterized a series of LC oligomers prepared from different lengths of methylene spacers in the reactive LC monomers and n-alkylamine chain extenders via the aza-Michael addition reaction. In parallel, we performed isothermal–isobaric (NPT) ensemble coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulation of analogue mesogens that are connected to flexible spacers and extenders at varying temperatures, spacer lengths, and extender lengths.
