The synthesis and mesomorphism of a series of discotic metal complexes of salicylaldimine ligands is reported. None of the ligands was mesomorphic, but the longer chain length complexes showed a Colh phase as evidenced by optical microscopy. Phase diagrams were constructed using rod- and disk-like salicylaldimato complexes, where one was designed to have Lewis acid characteristics and the other Lewis base properties. It was hoped that an associative Lewis acid/base interaction would prevent phase separation of the two components, which may point a way to the realization of a mixture with a biaxial nematic phase. The form of the phase diagrams is discussed. |
