Jr. Chipperfield et al., NEW METALLOMESOGENS CORE - NEW COPPER-COMPLEXES WITH CALAMITIC MESOPHASES USING TROPOLONE BASED LIGANDS - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF BIS(5-OCTYLOXYTROPOLONATO)COPPER, Chemical communications, (2), 1998, pp. 195-196
A new class of metallomesogens based on 5-substituted tropolones with
both enantiotropic and monotropic mesophase behaviour are prepared, th
e mesogenic properties are in line with the rod-like, calamitic nature
of bis(5-octyloxytropolonato)copper shown in its crystal structure.
