 Abstract:
Octasubstituted derivatives of tetrabenzocyclododecatetraene are found to exhibit thermotropic mesophases. The molecules of these mesogens are highly flexible with an average four-fold symmetry. Optical and differential scanning calorimetry measurements are presented on five ester and ether derivatives. All mesophases appear to be columnar with a negative optical anisotropy. From the five compounds studied the four which are derived from aliphatic ester and ether are optically uniaxial, while the mesophase of the decylbenzoyloxy derivative could be biaxial. Miscibility measurements performed with some discotic and pyramidic mesogens of similar molecular dimensions suggest that the mesophases of the tetrabenzocyclododecatetraene core form new families of columnar mesophases.
