A new series of β-diketones substituted by the same kind of chains, (alkoxy groups) having different lengths (CnO-Diketone, n = 1-12), has been synthesized.It was found that CnO-Diketone shows triple melting behavior for n = 1, double melting behavior for n = 2-7, and smectic mesomorphism for n = 8-12.It is the first example exhibiting both double (triple) melting behavior and mesomorphism in a series of long chain substituted compounds, so far as we know.Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the critical change from double melting behavior to mesomorphism occurs between n = 7 and n = 8, which is also the first example in the long chain substituted compounds, so far as we know.Keywords: double melting behavior, smectic mesomorphism, long chain substituted compounds, β-diketone

A new series of disk-like complexes, biscopper(II) (abbreviated as CnO-Cu, n = 1-12), has been synthesized.It was found that each of the complexes from C3O-Cu to C12O-Cu is a discogen, and that each of them has only one discotic mesophase.C3O-Cu is the first compound substituted by the shortest side chains in the discogen, so far as we know.The mesomorphic textures could be observed as mosaic textures for C3O-Cu ca.C5O-Cu and a big broken fan-like textures for C6O-Cu ca.C12O-Cu.The eutectic point calculated from Le Chatelier-Schroeder relations agrees well with the found eutectic point in the binary phase diagram between C8O-Cu and C8-Cu.This is the first example of such agreement in the discogens of the organic transition metal complexes.It has been established for the first time from X-ray diffraction measurements that each of the discotic mesophases in the complexes from C6O-Cu to C12O-Cu is a discotic lamellar phase.It becomes clear that this discotic mesophase is truly a new discotic lamellar phase (DL) different from the mesophase in C10-Cu, and that the DL phase has a structure in which the molecules tilt to the layers.Keywords: discotic liquid crystal, transition metal complex, bis(β-diketonato)copper(II), discotic lamellar phase
