Abstract
Copper(II) laurate (copper dodecanoate) shows a discotic mesophase at temperatures above 107 °C. This mesophase is characterized by a hexagonal columnar lattice with a repeat distance of about 20 A. Each column is made of stacked units with a period of about 4.7 A. The repeating unit in a column is the binuclear complex Cu2(C 11H23CO2)4 which is the first example of a discotic mesogen with only four peripheral chains showing a thermotropic hexagonal mesophaseKeywords
