Abstract:Copper(II) complexes containing chiral centres and functionalised with citronellyl end groups were synthesised.\ud
Isomerisation of citronellyl double bond was exploited to decrease the melting temperature of the complexes and\ud
improve their solubility in organic media. The chiral metallomesogens were successfully used to produce induced\ud
cholesteric solutions in commercial nematic liquid crystals also in high concentrations. Transparent and coloured\ud
thin films were easily obtained showing good reflecti… Show more
