Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the nitrile ligands 3,4,5-tridod ecyloxy benzonitrile (7) and 3,4,5-trioctadecyloxy bezonitrile (8), an d their corresponding palladium(II) complexes are described. The nitri le ligands display only a crystalline phase and do not show liquid cry stalline behavior, while their corresponding palladium(II) complexes d isplay an enantiotropic columnar mesophase. The induction of the colum nar mesophase is mainly due to dimerization through the palladium comp lexation of the half disk-like nitrile ligands giving rise to a trans square planar geometry.
