AI Article Synopsis
- A series of liquid crystalline porphyrins were synthesized and characterized using techniques like differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot-stage polarized optical microscopy (HS-POM).
- Shorter alkyl arm lengths in these porphyrins led to kinetic cold crystallization, where molecules form stable disc-like structures upon cooling.
- The study also examined non-isothermal crystallization to identify various nucleation and growth processes linked to cold crystallization.
Article Abstract
A series of liquid crystalline porphyrins was synthesized, purified, and characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot-stage polarized optical microscopy (HS-POM) revealed that the porphyrins in the series with shorter alkyl arm lengths exhibit kinetic cold crystallization, wherein the molecules spontaneously organize into large, disc-like structures that remain stable upon cooling. Using DSC, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters related to these materials were determined. Analysis of non-isothermal crystallization revealed the presence of multiple nucleation and growth processes related to cold crystallization.
