The supramolecular ordering of liquid crystalline phases provides a unique method for templating weaker transition metal interactions utilizing the microphase separation of the mesophase.  Novel optical and electronic properties would be expected from mixtures of d⁸ and d⁶ metallomesogens forming one-dimensional M^II…X-M^IV-X structures via so-called MX chain interactions.  We undertook to determine if MX chain interactions could be engendered in a liquid crystalline phase from binary mixtures of platinum mesogens.  Analysis of PtLⁿCl₂ and PtLⁿCl₄ (Lⁿ = dialkyl-2,2΄-bipyridine-4,4΄-dicarboxylate) complexes and binary Pt^II/Pt^IV mixtures via differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and NMR spectroscopy will be presented.  The structure of the Pt^IV mesophase will be discussed in light of the rarity of Pt^IV metallomesogens.  Phase diagrams and analysis of the PtLⁿCl₂/PtLⁿCl₄ mesophase structure through variable temperature X-ray diffractometry will be presented, and evidence for formation of Pt^II…Cl-Pt^IV interactions in a liquid crystalline phase will be discussed.
