Abstract
ABSTRACTBy the typical Knoevenagel condensation of Bodipy with aldehyde derivatives, two novel Bodipy derivatives 3 and 6 with symmetric three and six alkyl chains were designed and prepared. The Bodipy derivative 3 with three alkyl chains showed no mesophase but the Bodipy derivative 6 with six alkyl chains possessed the orderly hexagonal columnar mesophase at room temperature. Both samples 3 and 6 exhibited the near-infrared fluorescence with high fluorescence quantum yields and larger Stokes shifts than their Bodipy precursors. Sample 6 was the first near-infrared fluorescent columnar liquid crystal with Bodipy core. This research presented a good strategy on constructing the near-infrared columnar Bodipy liquid crystal.
