1-Methoxy-4-((4-propylphenyl)ethynyl)benzene (cas: 39969-26-1) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom. But ether is more polar than alkenes. Autoxidation is the spontaneous oxidation of a compound in air. In the presence of oxygen, ethers slowly autoxidize to form hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides. If concentrated or heated, these peroxides may explode. To prevent such explosions, ethers should be obtained in small quantities, kept in tightly sealed containers, and used promptly.Reference of 39969-26-1

New methods for calculating the temperatures and the enthalpy changes of virtual transitions and predicting phase diagrams – applied to the tolans was written by Domon, M.;Buisine, J. M.. And the article was included in Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals in 1987.Reference of 39969-26-1 This article mentions the following:

For a mesogen which does not exhibit an enantiotropic nematic phase when pure, 2 methods are proposed for the determination of the temperatures and enthalpy changes of the nematic-isotropic liquid virtual transitions. These calculations, based on Schroeder-van Laar and van Laar equations, use the value of the liquid appearance temperature for mixtures of the compound with another mesogen which exhibits the enantiotropic mesophase when pure. Both methods are applied to the study of the 1st 10 compounds in the 4-methoxy-4′-alkyltolan series. The results are used to determine the eutectic, liquid appearance and nematic disappearance temperatures of mixtures of 2 tolans that do not exhibit an enantiotropic nematic phase when pure. In 7 cases, an enantiotropic nematic phase is predicted and observed; in 1 case, the phase diagram differs from that expected; for the remainder, the calculated and exptl. data agree. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methoxy-4-((4-propylphenyl)ethynyl)benzene (cas: 39969-26-1Reference of 39969-26-1).

A highly efficient synthetic protocol for the synthesis of thia- and selenaheterocycles has been developed. By employing a MoCl5-mediated intramol. dehydrogenative coupling reaction, a broad variety of structural motifs was isolated in yields up to 94 % [e.g., bis(2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl) disulfide → 4,5-dimethoxybenzothiophene (65 %) in the presence of MoCl5 + TiCl4 (2 equiv)]. The electrophilic key transformation is tolerated by several labile moieties like halides and tertiary alkyl groups. Due to the use of disulfide or diselenide precursors, a high atom efficiency was achieved.

Influence of hydrogen bond on the mesomorphic behaviour in urethane based liquid crystalline compounds: Experimental and computer simulation study was written by Korkmaz, Burak;Agtas, Sinem;Sutay, Berkay;Yildirim, Erol;Yilgor, Iskender;Yurtsever, Mine;Senkal, B.

We present a combined exptl. and theor. study on the novel hydrogen-bonded liquid crystalline complex (UR-LC11) exhibiting both nematic and smectic phases upon cooling. The complex was prepared by mixing 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethylbutyl carbamate (UR) as H-bond acceptor with calamitic mesogen 4′-((11-hydroxyundecyl)oxy)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile (LC11) as H-bond donor. The complex was characterized by FTIR technique and its liquid crystalline properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscope (POM). The exptl. IR spectra were compared with theor. obtained IR spectra by D. Functional Theory (DFT) to suggest the structure of hydrogen-bonded liquid crystal (LC). The mol. dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to understand the impact of hydrogen bonding on the mesomorphic behavior of the complex and the temperature dependency of the transitions between the mesophases. We determined that UR-LC11 is a stable H-bond acceptor/donor type complex and a single H-bond forms between the carbonyl oxygen atom of the amide moiety of UR and the hydrogen atom of the terminal hydroxyl group of the LC11. Although LC11 is present only in nematic liquid crystalline form, the new complex displayed both nematic and smectic phases during cooling. The reason for the two distinctive LC phases was explained by the presence of hydrogen bond interactions, which provides structural flexibility. Besides, H-bond maintains uniaxial rod shape of the mol. to promote self-assembly behavior and induces positional ordering in the smectic phase. The enhancement in the self-assembly of the H-bonded chains in the complex is reflected in the increased ΔHfusion values. Due to the intermol. π-π interactions of the Ph rings and the formation of strong dipoles on the backbone, especially at the cyanobiphenyl end of the chains, the long-range directional order of the dipoles along their long axes are preserved at elevated temperatures and nematic to isotropic phase transition is observed at around 370 K both exptl. and theor.

Equimolar mixtures of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li[NTf2]) with triglyme or tetraglyme (small oligoethers) are regarded as a new class of ionic liquids, the so-called solvate ionic liquids In these mixtures, the glyme mols. wrap around the lithium ions forming crown-ether like [Li(glyme)1]+ complex cations. New mol. dynamics (MD) simulations suggest that the lithium-glyme coordination is stronger than that predicted in a former MD study, whereas lithium-NTf2 connections are weaker. The differences between the present and the previous study arise from different starting conditions. Both studies employed charges scaled by a factor of 0.8. As shown by the comparison of MD simulations with and without reduced charges to experiments, charge scaling is necessary in order to obtain data close to exptl. results.

Stable Dendrite-Free Sodium-Sulfur Batteries Enabled by a Localized High-Concentration Electrolyte was written by He, Jiarui;Bhargav, Amruth;Shin, Woochul;Manthiram, Arumugam. And the article was included in Journal of the American Chemical Society in 2021.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:

Ambient-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries are an appealing, sustainable, and low-cost alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their high material abundance and specific energy of 1274 W h kg-1. However, their viability is hampered by Na polysulfide (NaPS) shuttling, Na loss due to side reactions with the electrolyte, and dendrite formation. Here, we demonstrate that a solid-electrolyte interphase rich in inorganic components can be realized at both the sulfur cathode and the Na anode by tweaking the solvation structure of the electrolyte. This transforms the sulfur redox process from conventional dissolution-precipitation chem. into a quasi-solid-state reaction, which eliminates NaPS shuttling and facilitates dendrite-free Na-metal plating and stripping. With the solvated ionic liquid electrolyte structure, a high initial capacity of 922 mA h g-1 with a capacity fade of as low as 0.10% per cycle over 300 cycles was achieved. The scalability of this approach to pouch cells with practically necessary parameters demonstrates its potential for practical viability.

Novel luminescent vesicles with enhanced emission were achieved by an amphiphilic Eu complex through its spontaneously self-assembly in an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF6). The complex was prepared by Eu ions coordinated with terpyridine ligands, which were modified with the hydrophilic ethoxy chains. The enhanced absolute quantum yield and prolonged fluorescence lifetime of complex in vesicles were observed because of the effective shielding of the quench effects caused by both solvent and complex concentration Compared to the aggregates formed in other solvents, the vesicles obtained in [Bmim]PF6 showed the best luminescence intensity with the quantum efficiency (37.74%) and luminescent emission lifetime (1.915 ms) both increased ∼10 times more. This Eu complex was designed to show unsaturated coordination, which made the vesicle luminescence easily quenched when contacting with H2O. The fluorescence sensing of H2O with this vesicle as probe was possible, where several unique properties like high sensitivity, low detection limit (0.05 volume%), visible color change, and fast response had been observed Such designed systems are expected to provide strategies to develop novel supramol. aggregates in ionic liquids and offer guidance for luminescence detection with facile and wide applications.

The defensive chem. of juliformian millipedes is characterized mainly by benzoquinones (“quinone millipedes”), whereas the secretions of the putative close outgroup Callipodida are considered to be exclusively phenolic. We conducted a chem. screening of julid secretions for phenolic content. Most species from tribes Cylindroiulini (15 species examined), Brachyiulini (5 species examined), Leptoiulini (15 species examined), Uncigerini (2 species examined), Pachyiulini (3 species examined), and Ommatoiulini (2 species examined) had non-phenolic, in most cases exclusively benzoquinonic secretions. In contrast, tribes Cylindroiulini, Brachyiulini, and Leptoiulini also contained representatives with predominantly phenol-based exudates. In detail, p-cresol was a major compound in the secretions of the cylindroiulines Styrioiulus pelidnus and S. styricus (p-cresol content 93 %) and an undetermined Cylindroiulus species (p-cresol content 51 %), in the brachyiulines Brachyiulus lusitanus (p-cresol content 21 %) and Megaphyllum fagorum (p-cresol content 92 %), as well as in an undescribed Typhloiulus species (p-cresol content 32 %, Leptoiulini). In all species, p-cresol was accompanied by small amounts of phenol. The secretion of M. fagorum was exclusively phenolic, whereas phenols were accompanied by benzoquinones in all other species. This is the first incidence of clearly phenol-dominated secretions in the Julidae. We hypothesize a shared biosynthetic route to phenols and benzoquinones, with benzoquinones being produced from phenolic precursors. The patchy taxonomic distribution of phenols documented herein supports multiple independent regression events in a common pathway of benzoquinone synthesis rather than multiple independent incidences of phenol biosynthesis.
