Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Binuclear copper (II) carboxylates, Cu2(CnH2n+1O2)4, crystallize at room temperature in layered systems in which planes of polar cores are separated by a double layer of alkyl chains. These compounds are mesomorphic in nature above ca. 100 °C. Pseudopolymeric chains of regularly stacked binuclear cores are located at the nodes of a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice and are surrounded by disordered aliphatic chains. The transition from the crystal to the columnar mesophase is characterized by a change in the repeat distance of the binuclear cores along the pseudopolymeric axis. In the crystalline phase, these cores are all oriented in the same direction with a repeat distance of 5.2; in the columnar mesophase, the polar cores are perpendicular to the columnar axis and superposed in a fourfold helicoidal fashion, at least on a local scale, with a repeat distance of 4.7. We present here the effect of pressure on these anisotropic systems in a direction parallel to the columnar axis, and in the plane of the two-dimensional lattice. In a first part, we report the pressure-volume-temperature (P-V-T) relationship of these compounds (n=12, 18, and 24) in the temperature range from 30 to 200 °C, and in the pressure range from 1 to 2000 bars. Isothermal compressibility and isobaric expansion are determined in the crystalline and mesomorphic phases. In the mesophase, pressure-volume isotherms can be described by the Tait equation, as in most liquids or molten polymers. In a second part, we discuss the x-ray-diffraction experiments performed under pressure. In the mesophase, the area of the two-dimensional lattice decreases with increasing pressure and, at sufficiently high pressure, the columnar mesophase transforms into a crystalline lamellar phase. By combining P-V-T and x-ray results, we deduce an increase of the stacking period of the binuclear cores as a function of increasing pressure. © 1992 The American Physical Society.
