Abstract

The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of the first family of unsymmetrically-1,3-disubstituted ferrocene-containing thermotropic liquid crystals are presented. The title compounds exhibited enantiotropic liquid crystalline phases (nematic and/or smectic A and smectic C phases) associated with large anisotropic domains.

The synthesis and liquid crystal properties of the title compounds are presented.

    The drop-coated GC electrode was dried under vacuum for 24 h. Thanks to the interesting characteristics of ferrocene derivatives and in continue of our researches [52–60] we decided to work on synthesis and design of new ferrocenyl oxirane derivative that can be used potentially at least in organic transformations. Oxiranes are good organic compounds candidate in polymerization reactions [69] and an excellent intermediates in organic synthesis.

    They are starting materials in both organic and organometallic chemistry [7,8]. They have shown a broad variety of applications in materials [9,10], medicine [11–13], organic synthesis [14,15], organometallic polymers [16], dendritic macromolecules [17,18] and liquid crystals [19,20]. Ferrocene derivatives are a well-known class of one-electron donors which exhibit well established reversible redox couples.

    Ferrocene-based metallomesogens have emerged as important liquid crystalline materials over last 10–20 years due to their novel thermal, optical, and magnetic properties.1,2 Ferrocene, because of its aromatic character, facilitates several substitutions whereby a range of low molecular mass calamitic (rod-like) systems can be prepared by mono-substitution, or 1,1-, 1,2-, 1,3-, di-substitution or 1,1,3-tri-substitution of the ferrocene nucleus.3–12 However, there are few reports on mono-substituted ferrocene-based metallomesogen in recent years.13,14
