Columnar discotic Pt(<scp>ii</scp>) metallomesogens as luminescence multifunctional materials with chemo and thermosensor abilities

Abstract

A new family of Pt(<sc>ii</sc>) luminescent metallomesogens based on dicatenar pyridylpyrazolate ligands [Pt(pz^R(n,n)py)₂] (R(<italic>n</italic>,<italic>n</italic>) = C₆H₃(OC_nH_2n+1)₂,<italic>n</italic>= 4–18) has been prepared, and their mesomorphic and photophysical properties are described.
