Abstract
The synthesis of the first gallium(III)-based liquid crystal has been achieved grafting around the metal centre two chelating 2-methylquinolin-8-olate anions and one monodentate 3,4,5-tris(hexadecyloxy)benzoyloxy ligand, allowing the resulting complex to be a soft luminescent material with the typical high quantum yield of pentacordinated gallium species.
