Dielectric-Relaxation Investigations of New Synthesized Organometallic Liquid-Crystal
An impedance spectroscopy experimental characterization of a new synthetized Palladium complex organo-metallic liquid crystal is reported. It has been found that although organo-metallic complexes modify some of the physical properties of the liquid crystals, namely transition temperatures, values of the relaxation times and conductivity, they still have, in the nematic phase, the general behaviour of the usual liquid crystals. In particular the low frequency conductivity is very small, so one can conclude that the considered organo-metallic liquid crystal behaves like a good insulator. The temperature dependence of the static parallel and perpendicular components of the dielectric tensor are reported.
