Lyotropic liquid crystalline phthalocyanines containing 4-((S)-3,7-dimethyloctyloxy)phenoxy moieties
2016
The novel metal free phthalocyanine and its copper complex which are octa-substituted at the peripheral positions with 4-((S)-3,7-dimethlyoctyloxy)phenoxy moieties were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and mass spectroscopy. Their mesomorphic properties were studied by polarizing optical microscopy. The spectroscopic properties and aggregation behaviors of the novel phthalocyanines were also investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy in different solvents with same concentration as well as in a wide range of concentrations of chloroform. Both compounds with chloroform and n-dodecane clearly show the lyotropic columnar mesophase in a wide temperature range whereas thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior for both compounds is not observed. Both of these novel compounds show no aggregation in toluene, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane and chloroform.
