Abstract

Phenanthro[b]phenazine, a new heterocyclic ring structure of both biological and physical interests, has been prepared by coupling 1,2-phenylenediamine with triphenylene-2,3-quinone derivative. The first derivative of this novel core, 2,3,6,7-tetrapentyloxyphenanthro[b]phenazine, shows a monotropic columnar phase.
