Halo- and organogold(I) complexes as potential metallomesogens

Includes bibliography. === There is currently much interest in how the properties of liquid crystals may be altered by metal atoms. Gold(I) complexes of the type RAuL have recently been shown to exhibit interesting liquid crystal behaviour. As molecular structure and intermolecular forces play a maj...
