Bimetallomesogens: formation of calamitic or columnar mesophases by μ-exogenous-bridged groups in N,N′-(propan-2-ol)-bis(4-alkoxysalicylaldimine)copper(II) complexes†
Abstract
A new type of dicopper(II) complex derived from μ-exogenous 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoate- or acetate-bridged N,N′-(propan-2-ol)-bis(4-alkoxysalicylaldimines) prepared by the condensation of 2-hydroxy-4-alkoxybenzaldehydes with
