Abstract
We present a new approach to utilize the eutectic metallomesogen (MOM) mixtures to improve the electro-optical properties of commercial nematic liquid crystal (NLC) materials. Accordingly, we studied the phase diagrams of rod-like MOM models structures, including alkyl/alkoxy-azobenzene with Pd complex and salicylal-diaminates with Cu, Ni and Pd complexes. These phase diagrams we utilized the eutectic MOM mixtures and mixed them with few commercial NLC hosts. The results showed a complete mesogenic miscibility and wide mesogenic range. Although the studied MOM model materials are not the optimum structures and we did not study the electro-optical properties of MOM-NLC mixtures, the present results indicate the potential application of MOMs to improve the performance of commercial NLC, which require further future studies.
