We report the observation of convective instabilities in a mesogenic azocompound complexed with palladium, subjected to electric fields. The analysis of the experimental data indicates that the conductive regime extends to higher frequencies with respect to that of the common nematics. even if we find that the dielectric anisotropy of the metallomesogen and of the ligand have the same order of magnitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
