Molecular order and mobility suggest a new strategy to engineer nanostructures. Helical metallomesogens, formed from nonmesomorphic, segmented, iminoterpyridine ligands coordinated to copper(I) centers, align into rows within sublayers of an ordered biaxial smectic phase (see picture) without third-dimensional correlation of the layers. Selective oxidation of a dicopper helicate to a mixed CuI/CuII mesogen occurs under ambient conditions.
