Columnar Liquid Crystallinity and Mechanochromism in Cationic Platinum(II) Complexes

Cationic square planar Pt(II) complexes are reported with high degrees of intermolecular association. These complexes display thermotropic columnar liquid crystalline behavior in spite of having only a single side chain. Crystals undergo mechanochromic transformations that can be reversed with solve...
