TL;DR: In this paper, five nematogenic complexes, bis[1-(n-decyl-biphenyl) 3-(p-substituted phenyl) propane-1, 3-dionato]-copper (II), have been prepared.
Abstract: Five nematogenic complexes, bis[1-(p-n-decyl-biphenyl) 3-(p-substituted phenyl) propane-1, 3-dionato]-copper (II), have been prepared. The mesophase, which occurs monotropically in all of them, is of the usual nematic type, but has paramagnetic properties. Magnetic, dielectric and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements are presented. A preliminary analysis of the data indicates the existence of antiparallel correlations in the nematic phase.

TL;DR: In this article, the dielectric constants and the splay and bend elastic constants of hexan-dodecanoyloxy truxene in the nematic phase, which occurs between two columnar phases.
Abstract: We report the dielectric constants and the splay and bend elastic constants of hexan-dodecanoyloxy truxene in the nematic phase, which occurs between two columnar phases. The dielectric anisotropy is positive. The elastic constants are ∼10−7 dyne, which is of the same order as for nematics of rod-like molecules. Further, k 33 > k 11, probably as a consequence of the columnar short range order in the medium.
