Herein, we report the preparation of a series of metallacycle-cored liquid crystals with hexagonal and trigonal symmetry based on the self-assembly of tri(ethyl glycol) (TEG)-functionalized diplatinum(II) ligands and alkyl chain-appendant tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives. Interestingly, as the increase of the density of the TEG units in the metallacycles, the phase separation between TEG and alkyl
