Mesomorphism of a tetrahedral zinc complex.
Thermotropic smectic phases have been observed for the first time in a zinc coordination complex with tetrahedral geometry; this complex, which contains the pyrazole dimer bis[3,5-bis(p-decyloxyphenyl)pyrazolyl]ethane as the ligand, exhibits fluorescence.
