Abstract
A number of wedge-shaped amphiphilic mesogens, derivatives of 1,2,3-tris(dodecyloxy)-benzene, which are precursors of polymer ion conducting membranes, were synthesized. The synthesized compounds included asymmetric 2,3,4-tris(dodecyloxy)benzenesulfonic acid and its sodium and pyridine salts. The self-organization processes of the synthesized mesogens were studied in thin films at different temperatures. Thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of these compounds were studied by DSC method. The structure of the liquid crystalline phases was studied using polarized thermooptical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The influence of an orientation of magnetic field vector on phase composition of thin films was analyzed. It was shown that the texture of mesogenic films containing different counterions can be controlled by a combination of heating and applying a magnetic field.
