Abstract
Ionic liquid crystals are soft materials whose mesomorphic behavior can be strategically modulated as a function of their components, considering both the design of the organic cation and the nature of the inorganic anion. A new pyridylpyrazole derivative has been synthesized and used as a precursor for obtaining ionic salts that contain the corresponding dicationic fragment and different counterions. Most salts behave as liquid crystal materials exhibiting smectic A mesophases at temperatures ranging between 99 and 295 °C, as well as luminescence behavior in solution and/or the solid state. Interestingly, the related chloride salt emits blue light in the solid state under excitation at 261 nm, in contrast to the absence of the emission of the initial pyridylpyrazole derivative. This turn-on fluorescence response has been exploited to fabricate polymer supports that show a bright blue emission under exposure to hydrochloric acid.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
