Synthesis and Characterization of Four-Armed Pentaerythritol- and Coumarin-Based Materials as Potential Liquid Crystals

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

The synthesis of four-armed materials based on a pentaerythritol core, which is connected by spacers with different lengths to the coumarin moieties as mesogenic groups, is reported. The chemical structure of compounds is confirmed by FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometery (MS). UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements exhibited a red shift in peaks of coumarin ring from 318 to 366 nm compared with free coumarin molecules, which is attributed to the developed π–π interactions by possible formation of liquid crystal structures. These materials are interesting regarding their potential application in LCDs.
