A systematic study of the mesomorphic properties of two homologous series of copper(II) and palladium(II) complexes (1a-b) derived from unsym. β-diketonate derivatives (I) containing a variety of functional substituents (X = H, CH3, C2H5, OCH3, Cl, Br, I, CN) on the Ph ring is reported. These disk-like mols. all contain eight n-octyloxy chains, required for the formation of columnar phases appended to the central β-diketonate core. All complexes exhibited columnar phases studied by DSC, polarized optical microscopy and powder x-ray diffraction. The mesomorphic results indicated that all compounds formed stable enantiotropic columnar mesophases, and the formation of columnar phases was strongly dependent on the electronic and/or the steric factors of the substituents. For compounds containing bulky substituents (i.e. X = Me, Et) a rectangular columnar phase (Colr) was observed, however, other compounds containing electron-withdrawing substituents (i.e. X = Cl, Br, I) exhibited a hexagonal columnar phase (Colh). Most of the palladium(II) complexes, except for X = CH3 and OCH3 derivatives, have lower clearing temperatures than those of the copper(II) analogs, and this is probably due to a weaker mol. interaction between the cores in the palladium(II) complexes. Lattice constants for these two types of compound obtained by powder x-ray diffraction are insensitive to the metal center incorporated. These values were all relatively close in magnitude, which indicated that the two structures were quite similar. A satisfactory linear relation with a correlation coefficient of 0.974 between the clearing temperatures and the Hammett σp constants of substituents was obtained only for the copper complexes.
