核心概念
特定氟化模式而非最大氟化程度,是實現流體分子鐵電體高穩定性的關鍵。
統計資料
本研究合成了 27 種具有中等至較大 μ 值的同系物 (1-27)。
2.2.2 (1) 在 133.5 ℃ 顯示出單斜方 NF 相,該相直接由各向同性液體形成。
移除單個氟原子(得到 2.2.1 (2))導致 NF-I 轉變溫度 (TNF-I) 顯著升高,儘管這種修飾導致分子電偶極矩 (μ) 降低。
具有 X∙Y∙1 氟化模式的同系物與其氟化程度更高的同系物相比,與極性有序相關的轉變溫度(即 NF-NX 或 NX-N)顯著更高,儘管 μ 值較小。
引述
"While the rich physics of the NF phase is rightly celebrated, the molecular basis of this new state of matter is often overlooked."
"The chemical structure-property relationships governing the molecular origins of the NF phase are still relatively unknown."
"This therefore makes this result rather unexpected and something that we will revisit shortly."
"This work provides a new set of ground rules and designing principles which can inform the synthesis of future ferroelectric nematogens."
