Synthesis of new metallomesogens containing Ni(II) and Cu(II) atoms
A few new metallomesogens contaning Ni(II) and Cu(II) atoms of the ligands 4-substituted 2 ' -hydroxy 4 ' (4 " -n-hexadecyloxybenzoloxy)azobenzenes have been synthesized. The complexes have been characterized by C, H, N, microanalysis, IR, NMR and UV-Visible spectroscopies. Mesomorphic properties of all the ligands and complexes were investigated on a Leitz Laborlux 12 POL microscope provided with a heating stage.
