Abstract
Discotic liquid crystals are unique nanostructures with remarkable electronic and optoelectronic properties. Triphenylene derivatives play a major role in the research on discotic liquid crystals. Following recent reviews of the chemistry of triphenylene-based monomeric liquid crystals, this article now reviews the chemistry and physical properties of triphenylene-based discotic dimeric, oligomeric and polymeric liquid crystals.
