Gold(I) pyrazolate complex ([Au3Pz3]C10TEG) has been widely studied due to its interesting liquid crystalline properties by exhibiting the discotic hexagonal columnar arrangement. Generally, the liquid crystalline properties of the gold complex were confirmed based on their differential scanning calorimetry thermogram and polarized optical microscopy (POM) images. However, there is still no in-depth study on the phase transition in liquid crystals of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG especially on its structural change at variable temperature. In this study, the resulting liquid crystalline properties of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG upon being heated and cooled was extensively demonstrated via variable-temperature POM (VT-POM) and small angle X-ray scattering (VT-SAXS). Based on the VT-POM images, it was indicated that [Au3Pz3]C10TEG displayed a fan-shaped texture for typical arrangements of discotic hexagonal columnar of liquid crystals. Moreover, VT-SAXS results was in good agreement with the VT-POM images as it showed that [Au3Pz3]C10TEG might consist of two types of stacking system, which are ordered and disordered hexagonal discotic arrangements. Likewise, VT-SAXS analysis also demonstrated that hexagonal columnar mesophase of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG could be recovered even after the heating and cooling for two cycles.

Methylene-bridged tetra- and octa-alkylthia substituted metal free- and Ni ( II ) phthalocyanines were synthesized from the corresponding phthalonitrile derivatives in the presence of the anhydrous metal salt ( NiCl 2) or a strong organic base. The new compounds were fully characterized by elemental analyses, UV-vis, IR, NMR and mass spectra. The mesogenic properties of these materials were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction investigations. X-ray diffraction patterns of the mesophase confirmed that the tetra- and the octa-substituted compounds formed hexagonal columnar mesophases (Colh). The mesogenic properties of these compounds were compared to that of their octa alkythia substituted phthalocyanine derivatives in the literature.
