STUDIES ON THE ORGANOMETALLIC PALLADIUM COORDINATED CARBOSILLANE LIQUID-CRYSTALLINE DENDRIMER

A novel complex - palladium-coordinated ate-type liquid crystalline de ndrimer was synthesized by a divergent approach, The product showed li quid crystalline properties from 115 degrees C to 187 degrees C, and i t belonged to dinuclear species, containing two palladium centers link ed by two bridging Cl, each palladium atom completes its coordinations with N atom and a sigma bond to an ortho-carbon in the phenyl ring. T he microanalytical values obtained for the product are in agreement wi th those of compound containing ligand, palladium:and chlorine in a mo lar ratio of 1 : 1 : 1 and 12 palladium atoms for every scaffold.
