Four series of (-diketonate complexes were prepared by modified process. The mesomorphiz behavior and physical properties of metal complexes were studied from the variation of metal ions, and numbers and structure of alkony side-chains in the liquid.From the experimentalresults., the following conclusions could be drawn.The number of side-chain should be six or more, the length of different side-chains in the same liquid should be similar and the metal ion should be high electron-density. The metal complexes are thermally stable, but the mesophase range is always narrow and may not be detected by DSC. Among the three types of studied, the palladium(II) complexes were found to have highest isotropic point, and oxovadium(IV) complexes the lowest. It is likely due to the strong force of coordination between molecules caused by the high electronic destiny. Polarized optical microsopy indicates four of the Pd(II) complexes and out one of Cu (II) complexes are liquid of crystal of Dhd type.To ear knowledge, this are the first complexes of metal complexliquidcrystal containing secondary alkony side-chain in the (-diketonate liquid.
