Abstract
The alignment of liquid crystals through magnetism demands a high value of the magnetic anisotropy. The magnitude of the anisotropy for a series of is ostructural lanthanide-containing metallomesogens can be estimated on basis of the crystal-field splitting of the F-7(1) multiplet in the correspondin g europium(iii) compounds. A method to rapidly measure this splitting value is accessible through photoluminescence measurements.
