Gold(I) pyrazolate complex ([Au3Pz3]C10TEG) has been widely studied due to its interesting liquid crystalline properties by exhibiting the discotic hexagonal columnar arrangement. Generally, the liquid crystalline properties of the gold complex were confirmed based on their differential scanning calorimetry thermogram and polarized optical microscopy (POM) images. However, there is still no in-depth study on the phase transition in liquid crystals of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG especially on its structural change at variable temperature. In this study, the resulting liquid crystalline properties of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG upon being heated and cooled was extensively demonstrated via variable-temperature POM (VT-POM) and small angle X-ray scattering (VT-SAXS). Based on the VT-POM images, it was indicated that [Au3Pz3]C10TEG displayed a fan-shaped texture for typical arrangements of discotic hexagonal columnar of liquid crystals. Moreover, VT-SAXS results was in good agreement with the VT-POM images as it showed that [Au3Pz3]C10TEG might consist of two types of stacking system, which are ordered and disordered hexagonal discotic arrangements. Likewise, VT-SAXS analysis also demonstrated that hexagonal columnar mesophase of [Au3Pz3]C10TEG could be recovered even after the heating and cooling for two cycles.

In order to clarify the peripheral chain substitution position effect on columnar mesophase and stacking structures, we have synthesized three novel series of discotic liquid crystals (1-3) having octakis(phenoxy)phthalocyaninato copper(II) as a central core and one peripheral chain at the para position (1), meta position (2) or ortho position (3) of each phenoxy group, and three more novel series of discotic liquid crystals (4-6) having the same central core and two peripheral chains at para and meta positions (4), meta and meta positions (5) or ortho and meta positions (6) of each phenoxy group. Their columnar mesophase and stacking structures were investigated with a polarizing optical microscope, a differential scanning calorimeter and a temperature-dependent X-ray diffractometer. According to the results, their columnar mesophase and stacking structures strongly depended on the peripheral chain substitution positions and the number of peripheral chains. Derivatives 3 and 5 are viscous isotropic liquid at room temperature. Derivatives 1, 2, 4 and 6 exhibit various kinds of columnar mesophases: 1 Colhd; 2 Colhd and Colho; 4 Colhd, Colrd(P21/a), Coltet.d and Cub ( Pn [ three bar ] m ); 6 Colhd, Colrd(P21/a) and Colrd(X). Moreover, derivatives 1, 4 and 6 exhibit disordered columnar mesophases. However, derivative 2 only exhibits an ordered columnar mesophase and its X-ray diffraction pattern shows a sharp reflection corresponding to a very short intracolumnar stacking distance of 3.33 Å. Thus, we can drastically change the mesophase and stacking structures by the peripheral chain substitution positions and the number of peripheral chains at each phenoxy group. This is a new way of controlling mesomorphic structure.
