Polyurethane metal complexes (PUMC's) have been synthesized on the bas
is of the polynucleus complexes of Cu(II) and Fe(III), where the metal
s are connected by chlorine bridges, symmetrical aromatic diisocyanate
s and azoaromatic compounds; these complexes exhibit properties of the
rmotropic liquid crystals. The mesophnse temperatures of the substance
s range from is 20-80 degrees C and 60-110 degrees C. Specific electri
c resistance of the synthesized liquid crystal systems is 10(3)-10(5)
