Description

dl- (±) -beta-methyl amyl terphenyl liquid crystal compound, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal materials, and particularly relates to a dl- (±) -beta-methylpentyltribiphenyl liquid crystal compound, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The liquid crystal material is used as a transmission medium of communication devices such as a microwave phase shifter and the like, and the performance of the liquid crystal material directly influences the performance and the use of the microwave phase shifter. The molecular structure of the liquid crystal material for microwaves must be as follows:
(1) large dielectric anisotropy, high birefringence, wide nematic phase temperature range, low melting point and good low-temperature intersolubility;
(2) the molecular structure is stable, the polarizability is small, the microwave absorption is small or no absorption is realized, and the dielectric loss is low;
(3) low intermolecular force, low viscosity, and good gamma 1 /K ii Values (viscoelastic coefficients);
(4) the dielectric properties are stable and the dependence on temperature is small, in particular to be suitable for low temperature operation.
However, according to the current research report, the existing liquid crystal material for microwaves has the following general problems: (1) or insufficient phasor due to insufficient birefringence and permittivity; (2) or the dielectric loss is larger due to the wave absorption and polarization effects of the molecular structural groups; (3) or the low-temperature performance of the mixed liquid crystal material and the outdoor working temperature are limited due to the lack of a nematic liquid crystal compound with low melting point and high delta n value; (4) or the response time of the microwave device is longer due to the larger viscosity of the liquid crystal compound, and the information transmission speed and the application development of the device are affected. Especially, the high-birefringence nematic liquid crystal compound has the problems of high viscosity, low response speed and high melting point, and is difficult to satisfy the outdoor-use-temperature-below-50 ℃ nematic liquid crystal state of a liquid crystal microwave device; research and development of novel low-melting-point low-viscosity liquid crystal compounds and liquid crystal materials meeting the performance requirements of microwave devices, with high dielectric constant and low consumption, high response speed and suitability for low-temperature operation are urgently needed, and become key and application development bottlenecks.
The terphenyl liquid crystal molecules are liquid crystal compounds with higher double refractive index and certain polarity, have small absorption (or polarizability) to microwaves due to stable molecular structure and larger pi-electron conjugation degree, have double refractive index and dielectric constant which meet the use of microwave devices, and have low high-frequency dielectric loss, and are usually used as main components of liquid crystal compositions for microwaves. However, the reported terphenyl liquid crystal compound has a higher melting point, which is not beneficial to lowering the eutectic point of the liquid crystal composition and is also not beneficial to the low-temperature environment work of a microwave device. For example, 4' -butyl-2, 6-difluoro-terphenyl isothiocyanate (abbreviated as 4 PPUS) has a mesogenic phase of Cr 101 ℃ N200 ℃ Iso. In order to reduce the eutectic point of the liquid crystal composition, the Chinese patent invention is an achiral side methyl alkyl terphenyl liquid crystal compound, a preparation method, the liquid crystal composition and application thereof (CN 201911057697.5A, 2019.10.31.) adopts dl- (+ -) -2-methyl-butyl as a terphenyl isothiocyanate liquid crystal compound (abbreviated as 4 (1) PPUS) with a terminal alkyl, the melting point is 89 ℃, the clearing point is 161 ℃, the mesogenic phase state is Cr 89 ℃ N161 ℃ Iso, and the nematic phase state temperature range is 72 ℃; it has a melting point 12.5℃lower than that of the relevant n-butyl compound (abbreviated to 4 PPUS). This also shows that the terminal flexible branched chain-beta-methyl can lower the melting point of the liquid crystal compound, which is beneficial to developing the low-melting-point terphenyl liquid crystal compound and the low-freezing-point liquid crystal material for microwaves.
As the branched-beta-methyl alkyl chain is used as a flexible end group, the rigidity of the molecule can be reduced, the steric hindrance between the molecules can be increased, and the intermolecular acting force can be reduced, so that the melting point of the compound can be reduced. In order to further reduce the melting point of the terphenyl liquid crystal compound, the group of researchers tries to further increase the carbon number of an alkyl chain, dl- (±) -beta-methyl-pentyl is introduced into terphenyl molecules, and a novel low-melting point liquid crystal compound 4' - [ dl- (±) -beta-methyl-pentyl ] -2, 6-difluoro terphenyl isothiocyanate (abbreviated as 5 (1) PPUS) is designed and synthesized, and the mesogenic phase state of the compound is tested to be Cr 66 ℃ N159 ℃ Iso. Compared with N-amyl terphenyl isothiocyanate compound (abbreviated as 5PPUS, liquid crystal phase state is Cr 88 ℃ and N188 ℃ Iso), the melting point is reduced by 22 ℃.

This invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the present invention will only be defined by the appended claims.
The invention relates to the relevant professional knowledge in the field of liquid crystal materials, and for the convenience of understanding, the relevant performance parameter terms of the liquid crystal materials are introduced as follows:
delta epsilon represents the dielectric constant, or dielectric anisotropy; they have a parallel dielectric constant @ epsilon "and vertical dielectric constant" ε The dielectric constant is usually given by delta epsilon=epsilon
Δn represents optical anisotropy, i.e., birefringence (589 nm,25 ℃): the liquid crystal compound and the method for expressing optical anisotropy of the mixed liquid crystal material are characterized in that the liquid crystal has birefringence with refractive index anisotropy, which is the same as that of the optical uniaxial crystal.

In recent years, german Merck reports that the mixed liquid crystal material with high delta n value of isothiocyanato-polycyclic aromatic ethynyl has delta n value of about 0.25-0.30, and improves the dielectric property of microwave devices, but the dielectric loss is still larger. In 2013 and 2015, herman J et al report that isothiocyanato-lateral ethyl tetraphenyldiacetylene liquid crystal compounds (delta n is more than or equal to 0.6) have obviously increased microwave phase shift, but have larger dielectric loss and high melting point of materials, and can not meet the use requirement of extreme low-temperature environment.

Therefore, according to the findings in the prior large amount of research processes, the development of a liquid crystal material for microwaves with high dielectric constant, low consumption and low melting point is still needed in practical application.
