A homologous series of bis(1-(p-n-alkylphenyl)3-(p-n-alkyloxyphenyl)propane 1,3-dionato)copper(II) complexes have been synthesised and their mesogenic properties are studied.A few of the ligands which are used to obtain these chelates also exhibit mesophases.A plot of the mesophase -> isotropic transition points versus the molecular weight of the chelates gives smooth curve relationship.Optical texture and preliminary x-ray studies indicate that the mesophase of the chelates are lamellar in nature.
