Sumario: | The synthesis, as well as the mesomorphic and electrochemical properties, of a hetero-bimetallic coordination complex able to self-assemble into a columnar liquid crystalline phase is reported herein. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. Electrochemical properties were explored by cyclic voltammetry (CV), relating the hetero-bimetallic complex behaviour to previously reported analogous monometallic Zn(II) compounds. The obtained results highlight how the presence of the second metal centre and the supramolecular arrangement in the condensed state pilot the function and properties of the new hetero-bimetallic Zn/Fe coordination complex. |
