Metallomesogens containing paramagnetic transition metal ions are of interest because the orientation of these mesophases can be controlled by a magnetic field. The first paramagnetic Ni‐containing liquid crystals (related to the non‐mesogenic compound shown in the Figure) are reported. Their complicated temperature‐dependent magnetic behavior is discussed and shown to reflect changes in the coordination core of nickel.
