Résumé
The synthesis and liq.-cryst. properties of tetracatenar covalent and H-bonded bis-ferrocene derivs. are reported. Both compds. gave rise to enantiotropic columnar liq.-cryst. behavior with a hexagonal mol. organization. To explore the possibility to obtain also calamitic liq.-cryst. phases from H-bonded ferrocene-contg. liq. crystals, a rod-shaped ferrocene mesogen was synthesized, which gave rise to enantiotropic smectic C and smectic A phases. For the 1st time, a rational synthetic design at the ferrocene level led to ferrocene-based liq.-crystals with columnar behavior and to H-bonded metallomesogens. [on SciFinder(R)]
