Abstract
The family of nematic liquid crystals has been recently enlarged with the class of metallorganic molecules. Among them, AZPAC [4,4'-bis(hexi loxy)-azoxybenzene-palladium complex] presents some unusual behavior a s a transitory ''ferroelectric'' state, which we explain by considerin g bound multimers of AZPAC of peculiar steric conformation.
