Abstract

ABSTRACTStar-shaped nonaalkoxy-1,3,5-triphenyltriazines were prepared and their mesomorphism was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarised optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction (WAXS and SAXS). Compounds with chain lengths C9 – C12 displayed enantiotropic hexagonal columnar mesophases over a wide range of temperature. Their similarity in molecular size and mesomorphism prompted us to study their binary mixtures with previously reported planar 1,3,5-triphenylboroxines and propeller-shaped 1,3,5-triphenylbenzenes. All three compounds are fully miscible in their hexagonal columnar mesophases, but mixtures of planar with propeller-shaped compounds generated columnar stacks that contain only one type of molecule to avoid their shape incompatibility. However, the two types of columnar stacks were fully miscible which circumvented macroscopic phase separation.
