Abstract
3,4-Dialkoxystilbazoles have been complexed to silver(I) alkyl sulfate s in which the alkyl sulfate chain length has been varied. The mesomor phism of the materials is dominated by the formation of cubic and colu mnar phases, and the alkyl sulfate chain length is shown to affect the mesophase range and type. The mesomorphism of these, and related, sti lbazole complexes of silver alkyl sulfates is discussed in terms of th e effect of aromatic/paraffinic interfacial curvature and the effects of ionic interactions.
