K. Binnemans et al., REDUCTION OF THE TRANSITION-TEMPERATURES IN MESOMORPHIC LANTHANIDE COMPLEXES BY THE EXCHANGE OF COUNTERIONS, Journal of materials chemistry (Print), 8(7), 1998, pp. 1551-1553
Metathesis of the chloride anion in the mesomorphic lanthanide complex
es [LnL(LH)(2)][Cl](2) (LH = salicylaldimine; Ln = lanthanide element)
by dodecyl sulfate (DOS) leads to the complexes [LnL(LH)(2)][DOS](2),
which have wider mesomorphic ranges and lower clearing points.
