Synthesis and structural characterization of some 3d transition metal complexes of n o donor mesogenic ligands

Abstract

This thesis, entitled, Synthesis and Structural Characterization of some 3d newlineTransition Metal Complexes of N, O-donor Mesogenic Ligands is divided into six newlinechapters; chapter 1 presents a broad introduction and documentation of the recent newlineliterature on liquid crystalline materials (mesogens) and transition metal complexes of newlinemesogenic and non-mesogenic Schiff bases. While chapter 2 gives a detailed account newlineof the starting materials used for synthesis and technical specifications of various newlineequipment, all the other chapters (chapters 3-6) deal with the experimental data, newlineinterpretation of the results and conclusions drawn. A brief coverage of all the newlinechapters is given below. newline
