Abstract
The first family of (eta(6)-arene)tricarbonylchromium complexes contai ning thermotropic liquid crystals has been prepared and the mesomorphi c properties studied. Enantiotropic smectic C and-nematic phases were observed. Comparison of their X-ray diffraction characteristics and li quid-crystalline behaviour with those of the metal-free analogues emph asized the influence of the organometallic unit on the mesophase featu res.
