Abstract

We discuss recent advances of the molecular shapes of discotic liquid crystals and classification of the discophase structures. Then, we deals with “thermotropic discotic liquid crystals of organic transition metal complexes”. The new field of thermotropic liquid crystals of organic transition metal complexes was opened up independently by four pioneers in the latter half of the nineteen-seventies. Up to date, there are only seven types of discotic liquid crystals of organic metal complexes. These molecular structures and properties are reviewed.
