title: Thermodynamics of dimerization in solution as a rational tool for inducing nematic vs. smectic organizations in lanthanidomesogens.
abstract: The judicious tuning of simple thermodynamic parameters controlling dimerization processes in solution induces a rational switch between smectic and nematic organizations in thermotropic lanthanide-containing liquid crystals.
