《Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of the nematic mesophase benzoxazole derivatives with big twist angle of difluoro-biphenyl unit》 was published in Liquid Crystals in 2019. These research results belong to Weng, Qiang; Duan, Longyan; Chen, Pei; Gao, Aiai; Chen, Xinbing; An, Zhongwei. COA of Formula: C8H8BrFO The article mentions the following:
Here, a series of 2-(2,2′-difluoro-4′-alkoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-5-substituted benzoxazoles I [R = Et, n-Bu, hexyl, etc.; R1 = H, Me, NO2] with both non-polar (H, CH3) and polar (NO2) groups (coded as nPF(2)PF(2)Bx) was synthesized and characterized. All of the compounds showed a conspicuous inter-ring twist angle of 38° compared with corresponding reference compounds which were calculated by d. functional theory method, and it was interesting to note that the final compounds I showed only nematic mesophase during heating or cooling. Meanwhile, the UV-vis absorption bands and photoluminescence emission peaks both displayed remarkable blue-shifted. The aforementioned results revealed that lateral difluoro substituents played a key role to stable the nematic mesophase by increasing the dihedral angle of biphenyl. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 1-Bromo-4-ethoxy-2-fluorobenzene(cas: 107713-66-6COA of Formula: C8H8BrFO)
1-Bromo-4-ethoxy-2-fluorobenzene(cas: 107713-66-6) belongs to organobromine compounds.Organobromine chemicals are produced naturally by an array of biological and other chemical processes in our environment. Organobromine compounds are produced naturally by marine creatures (sponges, corals, sea slugs, tunicates, sea fans) and seaweed, plants, fungi, lichen, algae, bacteria, microbes, and some mammals.
