In recent years, a new class of mesogens involving simple coordination complexes of aryl isocyanides with Au(I), Ag(I), Pd(II), Pt(II), Cu(I), etc. has emerged. The growing interest in metal-containing liquid crystals is driven by the fact that such systems can bring about additional useful properties, such as optical, electrical, and magnetic, compared to their organic counterparts. This presentation will introduce new polymetallic frameworks featuring nonbenzenoid aryl isocyanides (e.g., isocyanoazulenes, isocyanoferrocenes) bound to monovalent gold.
