Abstract

The synthesis, characterization and mesomorphic properties of a new type of discotic liquid crystalline dimer bearing an electron-rich triphenylene discotic connected to an electron-deficient anthraquinone discotic via an alkyl an chain spacer are repoted. This donor-sigma-acceptor type molecule displays a columnar mesophase over a wide temperature range.
