Notes:
Two novel square-planar palladium chelating liquid crystals, bis(p-n-(l-undecenoxyphenyl-3-dodecyloxyphenyl)-propane-1,3-dionato)palladium(II) (Pd-C11-C12) and bis(1,3-di(p-n-tetradecyloxphenyl)-propane-1,3-dionato) palladium (II) (Pd-C14-C14) have been synthesized. Moreover, the copper chelating liquid crystal bis(p-n-(l-undecynoxylphenyl-3-dodecyloxylphenyl)-propane-1,3-dionate)copper (II) (Cu-Cu11-C12) has been synthesized by heterogeneous ligand-exchange reaction. These β-diketone metal chelates have been characterized by elementary analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and temperature-variable IR. It was found that these chelates were discotic lamellar-(DL) mesophase liquid crystals. In particular, the temperature-variable IR study indicates that the central chelating ring and the surrounding benzene rings would form a co-planar conjugated structure in the liquid crystalline (LC) state.
