SUMMARY:

The world has sought to develop new functional advanced material for many applications in the optical-electronic fields, and among them, liquid crystals (LC) are widely employed as fundamental components in screens and displays. This work presents the synthesis and structural characterization as well as the investigation of photo-physical and thermal properties of a new 2,6-bis(4-(dodecyIoxy)phenyl)-4-(4-X-phenyl)pyridines (X = H, 3a; F, 3b; NO₂, 3c; 2-thiophen, 3d; Ph, 3e; OCH₃, 3f; OC₁₂H₂₅, 3g; carbazole) and 2,4,6-tris(3,4-bis(dodecyloxy)phenyl)pyridine (3h), aiming new fluorescent liquid crystals. These molecules have π-extended heterocyclic nuclei as rigid core and peripheral dodecyloxy chains, being structurally adequate for this proposal. Target molecules 3a-3g were obtained in moderate yielding (33-78%) by a multicomponent protocol based on combination of 1-(4-(dodecyloxy)phenyl)ethanone, 4-X-benzaldehyde and ammonium acetate, in DMF and presence of cobalt chloride. These products were properly characterized by ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopies. A previous study employing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that, under heating, compound 3g is a potential liquid crystal, in which phase transition from crystal state to mesophase and then to isotropic liquid proceeds at 60 ^oC e 95 ºC, respectively. Also, preliminary polarized optical microscopy (POM) analysis suggest a SmX mesophase for this compound. For compound 3h, although a rationalized spherulitic texture was confirmed by POM, formation of mesophase was not evidenced. The pyridine derivatives showed maximum in absorption bands betweeb 258 nm and 377 nm, and fluriescence in the blue/violet region in solution, emission between 370 and 391 nm, and also in the solid state. The colors associate to emission were confirmed using a chromatographic diagram software based on fluorescence data. At this moment, photo-physical and thermal analysis of target molecules are being carried out.
