Hetero-bimetallic liquid crystalline materials, exhibiting a single Col(hex) mesophase, were obtained by simple chemical blending between two structurally-related Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) metallomesogens based on 1,10-phenanthroline and two chelating gallate ligands. Mesomorphous and optical properties were modified upon their relative respective proportions. This study highlights the numerous possibilities for the fabrication of new multifunctional polymetallic materials, with the possibility of tuning the properties and controlling supramolecular interactions between metal centres and corresponding synergistic effects.

Abstract
Hetero-bimetallic liquid crystalline materials, exhibiting a single Col(hex) mesophase, were obtained by simple chemical blending between two structurally-related Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) metallomesogens based on 1,10-phenanthroline and two chelating gallate ligands. Mesomorphous and optical properties were modified upon their relative respective proportions. This study highlights the numerous possibilities for the fabrication of new multifunctional polymetallic materials, with the possibility of tuning the properties and controlling supramolecular interactions between metal centres and corresponding synergistic effects.File in questo prodotto:
