Improved Properties of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals from Palladium β‐Diketone Complexes

Abstract

Switching times 1000-times faster and transition temperatures 50 K lower than those of the first mesogenic palladium complexes characterize the palladium complexes 1 (n =10, 14) reported here. Thus, applications may also become possible for ferroelectric liquid crystals from metallomesogens.
