The temperature range of the mesophases of the carboxylato complexes [Mo2(O2CCnH2n+1)4] 1 depends significantly on the length of the hydrocarbon chain. Thus, 1, n 5 (hexanoate) is converted at 108°C into the mesophase, and only at 172°C into the isotropic liquid. In the case of 1, n 9 (decanoate), these values are 105 and 116°C, respectively, and in 1, n 11 (dodecanoate) a mesophase no longer occurs.
