Emissive Zn(II) metallomesogen based on tridentate terpyridine ligand (original) (raw)
A low temperature liquid crystal based on luminescent terpyridine Zn(II) complex is presented. The induction of the mesomorphic properties was achieved using a lipophilic gallate unit as ancillary ligands. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by polarised optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TA) and X-ray scattering (SWAXS) of bulk materials, while the optical properties of the complex were investigated in solution and in condensed liquid crystalline states.
