Abstract
Cationic square planar Pt(II) complexes are reported with high degrees of intermolecular association. These complexes display thermotropic columnar liquid crystalline behavior in spite of having only a single side chain. Crystals undergo mechanochromic transformations that can be reversed with solvent.Keywords
