Summary: | We have investigated the thermotropic and lyotropic properties of some long chain alkyl glycosides with disaccharide headgroups. The thermotropism was measured with polarising microscopy and additionally the lyotropism with the contact preparation method, Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and small angle neutron scattering. A broad thermotropic as well as lyotropic polymorphism was found. The compounds displayed thermotropic S
A (lamellar) and cubic phases, and the investigation of the lyotropic phase behaviour led to the observation of inverted bicontinuous cubic V
II phases, lamellar L
α phases, normal bicontinuous cubic V
I phases, normal columnar H
I phases, normal discontinuous cubic I
I phases and lyotropic cholesteric phases. The phases are discussed with respect to the chemical structures that have been varied systematically to derive structure–property relationships. |
