Abstract

Numerous metallomesogens exhibiting columnar phases have been reported. 13 Some of them were constructed with half-disc molecules, and their mesomorphic properties were found to be sensitive to the structure of the bridging moiety. However, examples of metallomesogens 14 formed or induced by H-bonding interaction still remain unknown. In this work we describe the generation of supramolecular liquid crystals by palladium complexes 1 (Scheme 1) in ...
