Exploratory Synthesis and Characterization of Various Metallotropic Liquid-Crystalline Halides
(2008-04-17)Metallotropic liquid crystals represent a new class of exceptionally metal-rich ordered fluid materials. Building on earlier work of the Martin group we explored many different synthesis techniques for liquid crystal metal ... -
Toward Supramolecular Liquid-Crystalline Materials: Synthesis and Characterization of Platinum (II) Acetylide Complexes
(University of the South, 2011-04-29)Bipyridine complexes of platinum (II) complexes have long been recognized to possess a host of interesting, and potentially useful, structural, optical and electronic properties. By elaborating the structure of the bipyridine ... -
Electrochemical Characterization of Platinum (II) Bipyridine Liquid Crystals
(University of the South, 2011-04-29)Liquid crystalline materials composed of a platinum center chelated by a bipyridine ring and additional ligands have been of immense interest in recent years for their interesting photochemical and electrochemical behavior. ... -
Toward Liquid Crystalline Supramolecular Squares Based on PLatinum (II) Diimine Complexes
(University of the South, 2013-04)Bipyridine complexes of platinum(II) possess a host of interesting, and potentially useful optical and electronic properties. Conjugating the [bpyPt(II)Cl2] chromophore to b-branched aliphatic fragments results in a new ...
