Supramolecular main-chain liquid crystalline polymers and networks with competitive hydrogen bonding: a study of flexible bis-acids and a mixture of flexible mesogenic bispyridyls and flexible polypyridyls
Steven R. Friday, Richard F. Miesen and Kurt N. WiegelDepartment of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, Eau Claire WI 54702
Background
Materials Used
Liquid Crystals•Materials that exhibit long-range and some short-range directional ordering in a fluid state.
•Composed of mesogens (shaped molecules) and flexible spacers
•Different types of mesogens based on molecular shape (calamitic: rod-shaped)
Molecular Self-assembly Through Hydrogen BondingNon-covalent interactions formed between two molecules through a hydrogen-bond resulting in a larger “associated” molecule

• Complexes synthesized through standard melt-complex methodology• DSC data determined on a Mettler-Toledo STAR e1 DSC at 10°C/Min
heating rate unless otherwise noted• Optical micrographs were measured using a Mettler-Toledo FP82
Hotstage Mounted on an Olympus BHT polarizing light microscope at a 10°C/Min heating rate unless otherwise noted
This work was funded by the National Science Foundation (Award Number 1105256) and UW-EC Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and Matthew Hammers for his contributions to the project
Mesogenic Networks
• Combine characteristic of networks and liquid crystals• Couple physical deformations with liquid crystalline phase behavior• Thermoreversability through hydrogen bonding would introduce
lability and the ability to reorganize to these characteristics

• Networks vary clearing compositions based on• Functionality of crosslinking agents and flexibility (hydrogen bond donors and acceptor groups)
• Generally:• Increasing from 3EOBSB to 4EOBSB increases clearing compositions by increasing flexibility• Increasing from 4EOBSB to 5EOBSB decreases clearing compositions, likely from a dramatic melting
point decrease • Increasing functionality of networking agents increases clearing compositions• Increasing flexibility of hydrogen bond donors increases clearing compositions• Enantiotropic behavior observed only in some 5EOBBA systems• Smectic phases observed in systems with high degrees of flexibility
