38. Since no average stacking distance of these complexes could be deduced from the pattern, the density was considered to be similar to that of the hexagonal columnar mesophase shown by the analogous chiral complex.

41. CD experiments were performed with the corresponding film on untreated quartz plates. Linear dichroism effects were compensated by averaging several CD spectra recorded at different film positions relative to the light beam. The samples did not show extinction on rotation when observed through a polarizing microscope.
