Abstract

The disc-shaped tetra-palladium organyl 1 forms optically active charge transfer complexes in equimolar mixtures with the enantiomers of the π-acid electron acceptor 2, (+)- or (−)-TAPA, exhibiting lyotropic cholesteric nematic properties in apolar organic solvents. These ternary systems are the first examples in which such a lyomesophase has been induced by charge transfer interactions.
