Metal-containing liquid crystals with potential application in optical storage devices

Molecular mobility of CU(II)-containing liquid crystalline ionomers: dielectric relaxation and thermally stimulated depolarization currents

“…6. Dependences of I m on U p for P1(1,2), P2 (3,4), and P3 (5,6) in the range of the a (1,3,5) and d (2,4,6) processes; insert shows the same dependences for the high temperature TSDC peak for P1(1), P2(2), and P3(3).…”

“…The aims of this work are as follows: (1) to study the molecular dynamics of the P1 -P3 systems by DS and TSDC methods, (2) to identify the molecular mechanism of the observed processes, (3) to determine the influence of ion aggregate (multiplets) formation on molecular mobility of ionomer chains and side mesogenic groups.…”

Synthesis, 2D NMR and X-ray diffraction studies on Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with ligands derived from azobenzene-cored Schiff base: Mesomorphic behaviors of Cu(II)–phenolates and crystal structure of bis[4-(4-alkoxy-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)azobenzene]copper(II)

“…In 1997, Tantrawong and co-worker had successfully synthesized metal containing liquid crystal with the potential application in optical storage [6]. Liu and co-worker have found that metallomesogens have widespread use as stationary phase in gas chromatographic application due to the benefits of coupling the usual analytical strengths of gas chromatography with the unique structure and shape selectivity properties of the liquid crystalline phase [7].…”

Preparation and liquid-crystalline properties of mono- and binuclear complexes of Fe(III) with pentadentate Schiff’s base

“…Metallomesogens are used as templates of mesoporous materials [1][2][3], in production of monomolecular magnets [4], and in development of biomembranes, drug delivery systems and nanocomposites [5]. Furthermore, they are used for creation of information display systems [6][7][8], components of optical glass with defined properties [9], and as stationary phases in gas chromatography [10,11].…”
