摘要
New monocyclic and bicyclic thiophene-based diaryl-diacetylene liquid crystal (LC) materials were synthesised and demonstrated to exhibit wide enantiotropic nematic phases. One thiophenyl-benzene derivative, in particular, displayed a stable nematic phase across a temperature range of over 100 degrees C. The birefringence properties of the compounds were measured using a multiple-beam interference (MBI) method, with the highest value found to be for the same thiophenyl-benzene molecule (Delta n = 0.57, 550 nm) at 10 degrees C above the crystal-to-nematic transition temperature. Furthermore, the effects of the cyclic structure on the mesomorphic behaviours, transition temperatures, and birefringence properties were investigated in detail from both experimental and theoretical viewpoints.
