Mesomorphic properties of the neat enantiomers of a chiral pyramidic liquid crystal

The crown form of nona-octanoyloxy tribenzocyclononatriene (C8) with C3 symmetry was prepared and separated into its enantiomers (C8A and C8B) by HPLC. Like the racemate, the neat enantiomers are also mesogenic, exhibiting two mesophases, M and Colh. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, carbon-13 NMR and UV circular dichroism are used to study the structural and dynamic properties of these chiral mesophases. The high-temperature mesophase (Colh) was identified by X-ray diffraction as columnar hexagonal; this phase is thermally unstable, undergoing racemization on heating before its clearing point is reached. The low-temperature mesophase (M) is most likely also columnar, but its symmetry could not be determined. In comparison with the racemate, the chiral mesophases are less well ordered, more tightly packed and they have a lower tendency to crystallize. On the other hand they are considerably more mobile, as reflected in their NMR spectra. No helical structure has been identified in the X-ray diffraction of the mesophases.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
