Perspective

Metallomesogens by ligand design

Richard W. Date, Eva Fernandez Iglesias, Kathryn E. Rowe, James M. Elliott and Duncan W. Bruce

Columnar phases can be realised when basic salicylaldimine complexes are modified in the appropriate way. This Perspective discusses how control such as this may be exercised.

About this collection

This collection of papers honours Professor Eddie (Ed) Abel, past President of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The collection comes primarily from J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. (and latterly Dalton Trans.) plus a couple of important Chemical Communication papers, and have been chosen by former colleagues of Ed with a personal connection to the research or papers that have been inspired by his legacy.  They demonstrate the breadth of his scientific interests and are taken from various stages of his independent career.  Thank you Ed for your passion and inspiration for inorganic and organometallic chemistry!
