Metal-Tricarbonyl Group Incorporated Mesogens Synthesis and Liquid-Crystal Properties of Pi-Tricarbonylchromium Cholesteryl P-Alkoxybenzoate
A series of title complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes of cholesteric mesophase exhibit lower temperature ranges than that of the corresponding ligands, some of which possess smectic phase. The clearing points of the complexes and ligands obey the even - odd effect.
