We demonstrate the phototactic behavior of self-propelled micrometer-sized oil droplets in the presence of azobenzene-containing surfactants. These droplets respond sensitively to UV light irradiation due to a variation in the interfacial tension at the droplet surface induced by the molecular conversion of the azobenzene-containing surfactants.
Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of bis ester derivatives of coumarin containing chalcone linkage
Shah, Priyanka,Soni, Rina,Soman, Shubhangi S

Bis ester derivatives of coumarin containing chalcone linkage with various terminal alkoxy groups were designed, synthesized and characterized. Compounds 11a-m were studied for their mesomorphic properties using polarizing optical microscope & differential scanning calorimetry and photophysical properties using UV-vis & fluorescence spectroscopy. In this particular homologous series, compounds having lower flexible alkoxy chains showed very good mesogenic property with nematic mesophase formation, while analogues with higher chains failed to show any liquid crystalline property. Compound 11a with methoxy group showed very good absorbance and fluorescence as compared to higher chain length analogues.

A two new homologous series of λ-shape to T-shape mesogenic azo diesters were synthesized, and their thermotropic properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and a hot-stage polarizing optical microscope. The difference between these two series is in the structure of terminal substituents methyl (–CH3) for series I and methoxy (–OCH3) for series II at one terminus. Structure variation from λ-shape to T-shape as we go from lower members to higher members is discussed. In the series I, methoxy to n-pentyloxy derivatives are non-mesogenic. n-hexyloxy derivative exhibits only monotropic nematic mesophase. n-heptyloxy to n-dodecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic smectic C mesophase. n-tetradecyloxy derivative exhibits enantiotropic SmA mesophase, whereas n-hexadecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic Smectic A mesophase. In series II, methoxy to n-hexyloxy derivatives are non-mesogenic. n-heptyloxy and n-octyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic smectic C mesophase. Smectic A mesophase commences from the n-decyloxy derivative as a monotropic and persists up to the last member synthesized. The mesomorphic properties of the present series were compared with each other and with the structurally related mesogenic homologous series to evaluate the effect of methyl (–CH3)/methoxy (–OCH3) substituents as well as variation in the shape of the molecule by varying the alkoxy chain length of the bulky lateral substituent on mesomorphism.
Coumarin substituted symmetric diaminopyridine molecules: Synthesis, mesomorphic characterizations and DFT studies

The 2, 6-diaminopyridine was symmetrically substituted with coumarins from a lateral side of the molecules. All the molecules characterized by standard spectroscopic methods such as infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques. Mesomorphic properties are evaluated by the differential scanning calorimetry and the polarized optical microscope. The measurements show that the lower members did not favour liquid crystal formation, while higher members are exhibiting liquid crystalline, namely Nematic mesophase. The DFT computations manifest the nature of liquid crystal geometrical aspects.
