Supercooling and Cold Crystallization of Ni-salphen Complexes by Hybridization with Bis(Ni-salphen) Containing a Semiflexible Linker
Mixtures of Ni-salphen and bis(Ni-salphen) complexes containing a 2-methylenepropane-1,3-diyl chain exhibited supercooling and subsequent cold crystallization, a key phenomenon applicable to heat storage. However, the individual components, as prepared, did not display these properties.
