| Abstract | (Cholesteryl)benzoateethynylene oligomers having 3, 5 and 7 repeat units and the homologue polymer were synthesized by a divergence–convergence approach by the Sonogashira–Heck reaction. Their chemical structure was analyzed by 1H, 13C NMR, UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism. X-Ray diffraction patterns of all the materials show only a first order peak at 2.05° in 2θ, indicative of a lamellar order within a distance of 4.3 nm. This is twice the calculated distance of a molecule in its more extended conformation, i.e. of 2.15 nm, and is consistent with a disordered Smectic A phase for the trimer and pentamer and a nematic phase for the heptamer and polymer. The most probable model of organization corresponds to a supramolecular assembly in bilayers, where the cholesteryl chains are oriented in an opposite sense, i.e. in a back-to-back “comb like” fashion, which is in agreement with AM1 semiempirical optimization and DFT theoretical calculations. Since the molecular shape of the materials is consistent with brick or board-like structures and the molecules are stacked in blocks randomly oriented as observed by High Resolution Transmission Microscopy, the (cholesteryl)benzoateethynylene materials could be described as Sanidic LCs as a general term to classify their mesomorphic behavior. Optical properties are discussed in terms of the conjugation length and the terminal groups, iodine or in one case, hydrogen. In general the results confirm that all the molecules assume in solution a more planar conformational geometry when passing from the ground to the excited state as confirmed by the theoretical calculations. Circular dichroism spectra measured were consistent with the observed structural properties. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
