Polymerizable Transition‐Metal‐Containing Liquid Crystals with Thermally Reactive 1,3‐Diene Tails
Source abstract
Abstract
Crosslinkable metallomesogens containing thermally reactive 1,3-diene tails are described (see Figure). These polymerizable PdII and NiII-containing liquid crystals (LCs) exhibit LC behavior more similar to their non-polymerizable n-alkoxy parent compounds than their corresponding acrylate derivatives. The diene monomers can be thermally crosslinked in their LC states without significant degradation of their redox-sensitive metal centers via non-radical [4 + 2] intermolecular cycloaddition.

13. Cycloaddition crosslinking of bis(1 3‐diene) LC monomers is believed to occur via the [4 + 2] reaction of one 1 3‐diene unit with a single olefin moiety of an adjacent diene unit leaving an unused olefin group available for further [4 + 2] reaction with other adjacent 1 3‐dienes. The cyclic mono‐olefin formed in the reaction may also undergo a [4 + 2] reaction with adjacent diene units. See references [10] and [12].

16. The samples all show fan‐shaped textures with strong unbroken boundaries which is characteristic of a non‐tilted SmA phase (see Supporting Information).
17. Several configurations are possible for smectic phases of bent mesogens depending on whether the molecules are tilted or non‐tilted in the layers; the orientation of the molecular dipoles within each layer (parallel or random); and the relationship between adjacent layers if the layers are polar: D.
