The preparation and thennotropic phase behavior of coil-rod-coil triblock molecule of docosyl 4-(4-oxy-4'-biphenylcarbonyloxy)-4'-biphenyl carboxylate with poly(ethy1ene oxide) of twelve ethylene oxide subunits (E-12-22) and the complexes of the triblock molecule with LiCF3S0, are presented. E-12-22 appears to be only a smectic liquid crystalline. However, the complexation of E-12-22 with LiCF3S.03 induces a rich variety of enantiotropic liquid crystalline phases. The complexes of E-12-22 with 0.104.30 mol of LiCF3S03 per ethylene unit of a molecule exhibit successively cubic, columnar and smectic A mesophases on heating. The thermal stability of the mesophase exhibited by the lithium complexes based on each triblock molecule increases with increasing salt concentration.

A complete set of relations is established between the first and second Zagreb index of a graph and of its congraph. Formulas for the Zagreb indices of several derived graphs are also obtained.
