Four ferrocenyl long-chain alkyl beta-diketonato zinc(II) complexes with a general formula ZnL(2)(L=C5H5FeC5H4COCHCOCnH2n+1. n=6-9) were synthesized. These complexes were characterized by elementary analysis. IR,(1)HNMR, MS, polarizing microscopy with a heating stage and DSC. It was found that the complexes have thermotropic liquid crystalline properties. The type of the heteronuclear liquid crystalline metal complexes have not been reported so far.
