Abstract

3,4-Dialkoxystilbazoles have been complexed to silver(i) alkyl sulfates in which the alkyl sulfate chain length has been varied. The mesomorphism of the materials is dominated by the formation of cubic and columnar phases, and the alkyl sulfate chain length is shown to affect the mesophase range and type. The mesomorphism of these, and related, stilbazole complexes of silver alkyl sulfates is discussed in terms of the effect of aromatic/paraffinic interfacial curvature and the effects of ionic interactions.
