| Abstract: | New liquid-crystalline polyesters and paramagnetic vanadyl complex were prepared as host polymer and guest complex. Melt-drawn fibers were made from the blend of host polymer and guest complex at the mesophase temperature. ESR spectra of the melt-drawn fibers indicated that the base of pyramidal vanadyl complex is completely oriented parallel to the fiber axis. |
