Evidence for the Existence of the McMillan Phase in a Binary System of a Metallomesogen and 2,4,7-Trinitrofluorenone

Molecular self‐organization, driven by attractive face‐to‐face interactions between 1 and 2,4,7‐trinitrofluorenone, leads to the formation of an optically biaxial smectic A liquid crystalline phase—a long‐predicted new state of ordered soft matter.
