title: Mesomorphic phenanthroline derivatives: novel architectures based on hydrogen bonding.
abstract: Strong hydrogen bonding has been observed in mesomorphic phenanthroline compounds engineered from diacylaminobenzene platforms: a columnar organization is found in the free ligands (n = 12 or 16) whereas a smectic arrangement is evidenced in a palladium complex (n = 16).
