Abstract
Preparation of IrIII complexes using anisotropic 2,5-di(4-alkoxyphenyl)pyridine ligands leads to emissive, liquid-crystalline complexes containing bound Cl and dimethyl sulfoxide. Using analogous poly(alkoxy) ligands allows the preparation of bis(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) acac complexes, which are also mesomorphic. The observation of liquid crystallinity in octahedral complexes of this type is without precedent.
