Abstract
A series of novel mesogens have been prepared by a five-fold Sonogashira reaction of terminal acetylenes with a functionalized pentabromophenol. The corresponding side chain polymers were prepared by a polymer analogous substitution reaction. The mesogens differ in the nature of the substituents, linking five hexyl tails to the aromatic core, i.e. CH2, O, S, SO2 and CONH groups. A wide range of mesophases and corresponding transition temperatures has been detected, ranging from low melting nematic phases to highly stable columnar phases. The widely variable phase behavior is described in terms of specific intermolecular interactions.
