Title: A lifetime on synthesis of nitrogen-containing liquid crystals
Abstract:
With the help of electron-withdrawing group on nitrogen, the nucleophilic properties of pyridine and/or quinoline can be greatly enhanced. Thus, we were able to use Grignard reagent, a suitable hard base, to synthesize a plethora series of pyridine- and quinolone-containing liquid crystals. From these heterocyclic liquid crystals synthesized, we were able to understand and compare the relationship between molecular structure and mesomorphic properties. Furthermore, we applied our nitrogen-containing heterocyclic synthetic method on the synthesis of oled molecules. We believed that this method can be a feasible and cheap way for other commercially optoelectronic materials.
