Halogen Bonding: A New Interaction for Liquid Crystal Formation
TL;DR: Mixing the nonmesomorphic components 4-alkoxystilbazole with pentafluoroiodobenzene leads to a 1:1 halogen-bonded complex whose integrity is shown by X-ray single-crystal analysis and which shows thermotropic smectic A and nematic phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid-crystalline ionic liquids
TL;DR: Low-melting point salts, the basis of industrially relevant ionic liquids, exhibit smectic A mesophases over extended temperature ranges as mentioned in this paper, which is the case for all ionic fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorescent, Terdentate, Liquid‐Crystalline Complexes of Platinum(II): Stimulus‐Dependent Emission
TL;DR: A highly efficient platinum(II) luminophore is rendered liquid crystalline using a simple and flexible synthetic approach that allows monomer emission when the characteristic for the material is exciplex-like emission.

TL;DR: In this paper, rare earth-containing metallomesogens with 4-alkoxy-N-alkyl-2-hydroxybenzaldimine ligands are reported and the stoichiometry of the complexes is [Ln(LH)(3)(NO3)(3)], where Ln is the trivalent rare earth ion;(Y, La, and Pr to Lu, except Pm) and LH is the Schiff base.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron-phosphine, -phosphite, -arsine, and -carbene catalysts for the coupling of primary and secondary alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents.

TL;DR: Simple catalysts formed in situ from iron chloride and a wide range of monodentate and bidentate phosphines and arsines have been screened in the coupling of alkyl halides bearing beta-hydrogens with aryl Grignard reagents, and the best of these show excellent activity.
