Surface-produced parallel alignment of nematic liquid crystals by polynuclear dicarboxylatochromium complexes

Dicarboxylatochromium complexes have produced very stable parallel molecular alignment of nematic liquid crystals, in contrast with a recently described perpendicular orientation by monocarboxylatochromium complexes. The complexes used are μ-dicarboxylato-bis (tetranitro-μ-hydroxodichromium (III))’s...

Description
Summary:Dicarboxylatochromium complexes have produced very stable parallel molecular alignment of nematic liquid crystals, in contrast with a recently described perpendicular orientation by monocarboxylatochromium complexes. The complexes used are μ-dicarboxylato-bis (tetranitro-μ-hydroxodichromium (III))’s which bond chemically to substrate surfaces.
