Binary Mixtures of Isocyanide Derivatives

As described in Section 7.1, applications for liquid crystals are very demanding with respect to temperature range, adequate response to an electric field, viscosity, stability, and so on. The desired properties do not occur in a unique liquid crystal and consequently all the industrial devices use mixtures. In the field of metallomesogens, these are usually limited to binary mixtures. 

The thermotropic behavior and phase diagrams of binary mixtures of copper and gold complexes of the type [MX(CNR)] (X = anionic ligand, R = p-alkoxyaryl group) have been studied [32] and the main results are  

The mixture of the phenyl and biphenylisocyanide gold(I) complexes [AuCl(CN-C6H4-OCi2H25-p)] and [ 1( - (1 4- 6 4- 12 25- )], produces an enhance-
