Aggregation‐assisted induced electric order in the nematic phase of a metallorganic complex

The family of nematic liquid crystals has been recently enlarged with the class of metallorganic molecules. Among them, AZPAC [4,4′‐bis(hexiloxy)‐azoxybenzene–palladium complex] presents some unusual behavior as a transitory ‘‘ferroelectric’’ state, which we explain by considering bound multimers of AZPAC of peculiar steric conformation.
