Synthesis and properties of siloxane modified perylene bisimide discotic liquid crystals.

A series of symmetric and asymmetric 1,6,7,12-tetrachloroperylene bisimides (PBICls) were synthesized and modified by siloxane substituents at the imide nitrogen atom. Siloxane substitutions do not apparently affect the electronic properties of PBICIs as demonstrated by CV experiments. They display both thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline behaviors.
