초록
본 연구에서는 분자 내 하나의 페닐고리의 4-, 3,5-, 또는 3,4,5- 위치에 아조-메소젠기가 각각 결합된 화합물들을 합성하고 이들의 액정성 및 광화학성에 대하여 조사하였다. Azo1과 Azo2 계열의 화합물은 각각 선형과 평면형의 구조이며, Azo3 계열의 화합물은 비교적 부피가 큰 구조를 하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 화합물 BA-Azo2와 BA-Azo3는 액정성을 나타내지 않았고, BE-Azo1와 BE-Azo2는 단방성 액정성을, 나머지 화합물들은 양방성 액정성을 나타냈다. 이러한 액정 거동은 분자 내 아조-메소젠기의 존재로부터 부여된 것으로 액정성을 나타내는 대부분의 화합물들은 스멕 틱상을 형성하였다. 그리고 모든 RM-AzoX 화합물들은 분자 내 아조기의 존재로 인하여 광 이성질현상을 나타냈으며, 광 이성질화 속도는 RM-Azo3 < RM-Azo1 < RM-Azo2의 순서로 조사되었으며, 이는 아조벤젠기 주위의 입체 장애에 의존하는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 결과들로부터, 화합물의 액정성과 광화학적 성질들은 분자 내 페닐고리에 결합된 아조-메소젠기의 결합위치나 개수에 기인한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
In this study, compounds with azo-mesogenic groups at 4-, 3,5-, or 3,4,5-positions of one phenyl ring were synthesized, and their liquid crystallinity and photochemistry were investigated. The compounds in the Azo1 and Azo2 series had linear and planar geometries, respectively, while those in the Azo3 series had relatively bulky structures. Compounds of BA-Azo2 and BA-Azo3 did not show any liquid crystallinity. Compounds of BE-Azo1 and BE-Azo2 exhibited a monotropic liquid crystallinity, while the other compounds showed an enantiotropic liquid crystallinity. The liquid crystalline behavior was imparted by the azo-mesogenic groups, and most of the liquid crystalline compounds formed a smectic phase. All the RM-AzoX compounds exhibited photoisomerism because of the presence of the azo groups in the molecule. The rate of photoisomerization followed the order of RM-Azo3 < RM-Azo1 < RM-Azo2 and was considered to depend on the steric hindrance around the azobenzene groups in the molecule. These results suggest that the liquid crystallinity and photochemical property of the compounds are affected by the position or the number of azo-mesogenic groups phenyl ring of the molecule.
