Abstract

A series of tetradentate Schiff base metallomesogenic diols and their model compounds were synthesized from two simple dihydroxy benzenes. The metallomesogenic diol was constructed from three ring containing mesogen linked through ester and azomethine with terminal hydroxy group. This upon complexation with copper (II) formed metallomesogenic diol with varing terminal chain length. The related model metallomesogenic compounds ...
