Abstract

Aquatic functional liquid crystals, which are ordered molecular assemblies that work in water environment, are described in this review. Aquatic functional liquid crystals are liquid‐crystalline (LC) materials interacting water molecules or aquatic environment. They include aquatic lyotropic liquid crystals and LC based materials that have aquatic interfaces, for example, nanoporous water treatment membranes that are solids preserving LC order. They can remove ions and viruses with nano‐ and subnano‐porous structures. Columnar, smectic, bicontinuous LC structures are used for fabrication of these 1D, 2D, 3D materials. Design and functionalization of aquatic LC sensors based on aqueous/LC interfaces are also described. The ordering transitions of liquid crystals induced by molecular recognition at the aqueous interfaces provide distinct optical responses. Molecular orientation and dynamic behavior of these aquatic functional LC materials are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The molecular interactions of LC materials and water are key of these investigations. New insights into aquatic functional LC materials contribute to the fields of environment, healthcare, and biotechnology.

Abstract

Reentrant phenomena in soft matter and biosystems have attracted considerable attention because their properties are closely related to high functionality. Here, we report a combined experimental and computational study on the self‐assembly and reentrant behavior of a single‐component thermotropic smectic liquid crystal toward the realization of dynamically functional materials. We have designed and synthesized a mesogenic molecule consisting of an alicyclic trans,trans‐bicyclohexyl mesogen and a polar cyclic carbonate group connected by a flexible tetra(oxyethylene) spacer. The molecule exhibits an unprecedented sequence of layered smectic phases, in the order: smectic A‐smectic B‐reentrant smectic A. Electron density profiles and large‐scale molecular dynamics simulations indicate that competition between the stacking of bicyclohexyl mesogens and the conformational flexibility of tetra(oxyethylene) chains induces this unusual reentrant behavior. Ion‐conductive reentrant liquid‐crystalline materials have been developed, which undergo the multistep conductivity changes in response to temperature. The reentrant liquid crystals have potential as new mesogenic materials exhibiting switching functions.

Abstract

The biomineralization-inspired preparation of inorganic hybrid materials has attracted attention. Here, we report a new approach to the orientation control of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film crystals through the preparation of zinc hydroxide carbonate (ZHC) by the macromolecular templates of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Using 100-nm-thick PHEMA templates, ZHC thin films with the c-axis oriented parallel to the substrate were obtained, while ZHC thin films prepared by 100-nm-thick PVA templates showed perpendicular orientation. After the thermal treatment of ZHC, the crystal orientations of the ZnO thin films were maintained. The effects of the thickness and annealing time for the polymer templates on the morphologies of the ZnO thin films were examined.

Supramolecular self-assembly of 24 forklike mesogenic ligands and 12 transition metal ions led to the formation of giant spherical coordination complexes that exhibit liquid-crystalline (LC) phases. Self-healing LC supramolecular gels were also obtained through the introduction of these LC nanostructured supramolecular giant spherical complexes into dynamic covalent networks formed by cross-linkers and bifunctional polymers. The giant spherical structures of the PdII complexes with 72 rodlike moieties on the periphery were characterized by NMR, diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. These complexes are stable and exhibit lyotropic LC behavior, while the mesogenic ligands show thermotropic LC properties. The self-assembled LC structures of the spherical complexes can be tuned by the length of the rodlike moieties.

We designed and synthesized bidentate pyridyl ligands (L) containing either three or two rod-shaped mesogens to develop functional liquid-crystalline materials composed of self-assembled cages formed by metal-ligand coordination interactions. These ligand molecules exhibited thermotropic smectic A liquid-crystalline phases in wide temperature ranges including room temperature. The complexation of the three-mesogen-containing ligand with palladium nitrate was performed in a mixed solvent of CDCl₃ and DMSO-d₆. The NMR measurements of the reaction solutions suggested the formation of spherical caged metal complexes having the composition of Pd₁₂L₂₄. The solid residue remained after evaporation of the solvents showed a birefringence under polarizing optical microscopic observation. The phase transition behavior and assembled structure of the complex will be reported.
