9.3.2 Ionic Metallomesogens
Camerel
et al.
[98] prepared a series of Cu complexes with 1,10-phenanth-
rolines and single-tail as well as double-tail surfactants. Two kinds of phen-
anthrolinedisulfonate ligands, namely bathophenanthrolinedisulfonic acid
(BPS) and bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCS), have been used for com-
plexation with Cu(II)Cl
2
. With BPS and surfactant, green colored Cu(II)
complex with trigonal bipyramidal geometry was obtained, while with BCS
and surfactant, red colored Cu(I) complex with tetrahedral geometry was
obtained. Out of sixteen complexes, only two complexes,
65a
and
65b,
with
double-tailed C18 chain surfactant were liquid crystalline (Figure 9.27).
