Abstract
A homologous series of silver complexes of 1-alkylimidazoles (R-im, R = CnH(2n+1), where n= 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18) was synthesized. All the CnH(2n+1)-im ligands are non-mesomorphic. Upon complexation, all the [Ag(CnH(2n+1)-im)2]-[NO3], except for n = 10, exhibit liquid crystalline properties. The crystal structure of [Ag(C12H25-im)2][NO3] shows that the silver center is two-coordinate and adopts a U-shaped conformation with bilayer packing. The non-mesomorphic [Ag(C16H33-bim)2][NO3](bim = benzimidazole) has a three-coordinate silver ion and has a chair conformation with monolayer stacking. Non-mesomorphic [Ag(C16H33-bim)2][BF4] has a linear geometry around the silver ion and also has a chair conformation. The mesophase for the Ag-(CnH(2n+1)-im) complexes has been identified as the smectic A (SmA) phase. [Ag(C16H33-im)2]+ with four different anions, NO3-, BF4-, PF6- and CF3SO3- were compared. Of the four Ag-im complexes, only that with the CF3SO3- anion does not show liquid-crystal behavior.
