Supramolecular self-assembly nature of a novel thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer containing no conventional mesogens
Literature Information
Shengtong Sun, Hui Tang, Peiyi Wu, Xinhua Wan
Two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2DIR) and a newly developed perturbation correlation moving window (PCMW) technique was employed to study the precise supramolecular self-assembly nature of poly[di(butyl)vinyl terephthalate] (PDBVT), a novel thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer which can self-assemble into a two-dimensional hexagonal columnar (2D ΦH) phase without conventional mesogens. PCMW had found the weak phase transition temperature to be about 85 °C, and further divided the “S or anti-S” shaped spectral variations into three evolving stages. 2DIR results indicated that carbonyl groups acted as the starting point of molecular motions upon heating, and had a significant influence on the formation of the 2D ΦH phase. Based on the additional motion sequence of symmetric and asymmetric C–H stretching vibrations, the whole self-assembly process of PDBVT on the mesoscale, whose backbones experienced “extension–distortion–slight extension” consecutive motions was elucidated.

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.
