Abstract
Fluoro-substitution in the phenyl ring of some beta-(4-alkoxyphenyl)-d ialdehydes markedly affects the mesophase behaviour of their copper(II ) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes. Fluoro-substitution in the 2-position of the octyl and decyl copper(II) derivatives lowers melting and clea ring temperatures, whereas substitution in the 3-position lowers only the former. Fluoro-substitution in the 5-position of the corresponding oxovanadium(IV) complexes usually lowers the melting point, but inhib its mesophase formation.
