title: Morphology-driven absorption and emission colour changes in liquid-crystalline, cyclometallated platinum(II) complexes.
abstract: Platinum(II) complexes of 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)benzene containing two alkyl chains are unexpectedly mesomorphic and capable of changing absorption and emission colour depending on the phase obtained after thermal treatment.
