- Self-assembly of azobenzene-based two-component gels
-
An azobenzene derivative was found to form a two-component gelator with lauroyl or stearoyl phenylalanine although phenylalanine units failed to gel the solvent. During gelation, the yellow sols turned into red gels, implying a sharp color change in the system. In gel, molecules self-assembled into one-dimensional nanofibers. Circular dichroism spectral results indicated that the chirality of phenylalanine was passed on to the azobenzene moiety, which formed a right-handed helical stacking in the gel phase. UV-vis experiments and NMR spectra revealed that the azobenzene derivative and lauroyl phenylalanine formed a complex with a ratio of 1:4. The critical gelation concentrations and gel-to-sol phase transition temperatures were dependent on the ratio of the two compounds. Moreover, the response of two-component gels to mechanical stimulus could result in a gel-to-sol transition. The gels can again self-heal after resting, which is a process that can be reversed numerous times. This journal is

- Sterically enhanced 2-iminopyridylpalladium chlorides as recyclable ppm-palladium catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling in aqueous solution
-
Sterically hindered 2-iminopyridine derivatives and their palladium chlorides complexes are designed and prepared, which efficiently promote the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling (SMC) reaction in aqueous solution. Besides the good to excellent yields and broad substrate scope, these catalysts can be reused for at least four new batches of the substrates. Spontaneous separation of coupling products in the aqueous reaction medium is the additional striking feature of this catalytic process. Furthermore, catalytic performance of palladium complexes bearing the azo-bridged phenyl groups was greatly influenced by the UV irradiation due to the cis/trans photoisomerization of azo unit of the catalysts. In conclusion, titled palladium complexes provide a green, sustainable, cost-effective, and convenient process to synthesize SMC products at multi-gram-scale reaction.

- Effects of different terminal substituents on the mesomorphic behavior of some azo-Schiff base and azo-ester-based liquid crystals
-
In order to investigate the influence of the terminal substitution on mesomorphism, two new series of azo-Schiff base and azo-ester liquid crystals having the following structures have been synthesized. All the compounds possess mesomorphic properties. In series A compounds A1 and A3 exhibit only a nematic mesophase, whereas compounds A2, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10 exhibit a smectic as well as a nematic phase. In series B compounds B1 to B9 exhibit only a nematic mesophase, and compounds B10 and B11 exhibit a smectic as well as a nematic phase, but compound B12 exhibits only a smectic phase. All these compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques (Fourier transform infrared [FTIR], 1H nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR], and mass spectroscopy). Their mesomorphic properties were measured by optical polarized light microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
