Polycatenar Metallomesogens - From Layers to Columns and so yo Cubics

The mesomorphism of various series of polycatenar metallomesogens is described and, by considering various structure/mesomorphism arguments, a model is proposed to rationalise cubic phase formation in calamitic and polycatenar mesogens.
