Abstract
A family of mesomorphic bis(alkoxystilbazole) silver(I) dodecylsulphate and octylsulphate complexes has been studied by X-ray
scattering in their various mesophases. In particular, many of the complexes exhibit a thermotropic cubic mesophase and, for
one example, a monodomain was obtained allowing the space group to be unequivocally identified. A model for the formation
of these cubic phases is proposed.
