Synthesis of two-ring nematic phase liquid crystal compounds with low melting point and high Δn value
In order to develop liquid crystal materials with low melting point
high birefringence (Δ
n
) and fast response
we need to join in double ring type LC compounds with the low melting point under 50℃ and the Δ
n
value with more than 0.35 in high Δ
n
values of the liquid crystal mixture system
which can make fast response nematic phase liquid crystal materials meet the requirements of working at room temperature. The liquid crystal compounds of isothiocyanate diphenylacetylene were designed and synthesized in this paper. By adding the isothiocyanate group at the molecular terminal
the birefringence of the liquid crystal increased. At the same time
F atom is introduced at the benzene ring side to reduce the viscosity of the liquid crystals. The results showed that the two target compounds' Δ
n
value were 0.39 and 0.4
and the melting points were 31℃ and 50℃
respectively
which would decrease the melting point of the present liquid crystals with a few milliseconds in response time as low as 10℃.
