The results of spectral studies of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals (TILC) of homologous series of cobalt alkanoates and their mesomorphic glasses are presented. It is shown that the dominant coordination of the cobalt ions in the investigated media is an octahedron. A significant decrease the absorption coefficient with increasing of the aliphatic chain length in the homologous series of cobalt alkanoates is caused by the decrease of the volume concentration of the cobalt cation complexes and the dipole moments of d-d-transitions.

The structure of the mesophases and mesomorphic glasses of cobalt alkanoates homologous series was obtained. It is shown, that typical for ITLC smectic A packing of molecules (cation-anion layer between layers alkanoate chains) preserves also in a glass phase (at room temperature).
