Supramolecular architectures of C-3-symmetrical and asymmetrical discotics
Chiral (3b) and achiral (3a) C-3-symmetrical nitrogen centered amide disks were investigated with optical polarizing microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and UV-Vis/circular dichroism spectroscopy. Similar to the carbonyl centered amide disks 1a/b, only achiral compound 3a shows order in the liquid crystalline phase. Using the same techniques, two asymmetrical mono amide bisurea disks were investigated, one containing 6 "chiral urea" groups (4) and the other containing 3 "chiral amide" centers (5). These compounds do show supramolecular aggregation in dilute apolar solutions, featuring hysteresis in experiments investigating thermoreversibility; similar to C-3-symmetrical trisurea compounds 2a/b.
