Abstract
The cyclopalladation of mesogenic Schiff bases and subsequent reaction with natural L-amino acids yields a novel series of metallomesogens. The transi tion temperatures of the complexes are uniformly higher that those of the f ree ligands, with smectic A phases being exhibited. [GRAPHICS] (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
