Abstract We used dielectric spectroscopy to access the molecular dynamics of three isomers with a structure based on a sizable, partially rigid, and non-polar core connected to a polar phenylene unit differing in the position of the polar group, and, consequently, the direction and magnitude of the dipole moment to address the question how unique molecular properties, in particular large size and elongated shape, affect the dynamics. The position of the polar group differentiates the molecular shape and isomer’s anisotropy and leads to different thermal and dynamic properties of the isomers. The shape of permittivity loss spectra was governed by magnitudes of the longitudinal and transverse components of dipole moment to a large extent. For para isomer with negligible traverse component of dipole moment, the narrowest loss peak was found while for meta isomer, the bimodal loss peak was observed at high temperatures. Its shape evolved on cooling limiting the possibility of individual mode separation near glass transition where the dynamics were more cooperative. High-pressure dielectric studies showed that sizable isomers were characterized by the pronounced sensitivity of glass transition temperature, Tg, to compression. Observed high activation volumes, such as 735 cm3/mol at Tg for para isomer, were found to correlate with the length scale of dynamic cooperativity. The number of dynamically correlated molecules depended on molecular shape and varied among isomers while the determined values were much smaller than that reported for other glass-forming liquids. We discussed here the obtained results in the context of the specific properties of the systems studied showing the overriding role of anisotropy. |
