Abstract
Tridentate imine ligands that are obtained from the chiral, regioisomeric amino alcohols 2-amino-1,1,2-triphenyethanol and 2-amino-1,2,2-triphenylethanol serve for the formation of bis-chelated silicon complexes. Whereas the complex based on the former amino alcohol is obtained as a diastereomeric mixture, the complex that is derived from 2-amino-1,2,2-triphenylethanol forms in a completely diastereoselective manner, and its configuration is determined as (A,R,R), according to a crystal structure analysis. The new silicon complexes are found to be efficient dopants for the conversion of nematic liquid crystals into cholesteric phases. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
