Communication: Chiral metallomesogens, especially those exhibiting S-A
and S-C* phases, are of potential interest for applications in elect
ro-optics. The performance of the materials depends on a number of fac
tors, including spontaneous polarization, switching speed, and tilt an
gle. Here, the first reports of the electroclinic behavior of a number
of metallomesogens are made.
