Abstract
The first family of (?6-arene)tricarbonylchromium complexes contg. thermotropic liq. crystals has been prepd. and the mesomorphic properties studied. Enantiotropic smectic C and nematic phases were obsd. Comparison of their x-ray diffraction characteristics and liq.-cryst. behavior with those of the metal-free analogs emphasized the influence of the organometallic unit on the mesophase features.
