A unique metal‐containing liquid crystal consisting of a novel gemini‐like metallic macrodiscogen with copper‐bis(β‐diketonate)‐based twin cores has been successfully synthesized. Scanning tunneling microscopy has been used to characterize the ideal square‐planar conformation (see Figure). The low ionization potential and the reversible oxidation process values suggest a large capability for hole injection.
