Résumé
A ferrocene-contg. side-chain liq.-cryst. polymethacrylate was oxidized with iodine into the corresponding ferrocenium polymeric species. The reduced polymer showed enantiotropic smectic C and smectic A phases. The oxidized polymer exhibited an enantiotropic nematic phase. The results described in this report confirm that ferrocene is a valuable redox-active unit for the design of switchable liq.-cryst. polymers. [on SciFinder(R)]
