Yg. Galyametdinov et al., Synthesis and mesogenic properties of azomethine complexes of lanthanides with alkyl sulfate anions, RUSS CHEM B, 48(2), 1999, pp. 385-387
Liquid-crystalline cationic complexes of lanthanides with azomethines conta
ining the alkyl sulfate anion as the counterion were synthesized. The tempe
ratures of existence of the mesophase of the complexes with the alkyl sulfa
te anion were by 80-100 degrees C lower than those of similar complexes wit
h the Cl- and NO3- counterions.
