The underlying theme of this Critical Review is the relationship between molecular structure
and liquid crystalline behaviour in a class of materials referred to as liquid crystal oligomers …

This review focuses on structure-property relationships in liquid crystal oligomers, which
consist of molecules containing two or more mesogenic units linked via flexible spacers …

Fundamentally important as models for the study of energy and charge migration in self-
organized systems, discotic liquid crystals find functional application as one-dimensional …

Triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals, which have already been used commercially in
phase compensation films to improve the viewing angle of liquid crystal display devices …

A liquid crystal dimer is composed of molecules containing two mesogenic groups linked via
a flexible spacer. Initial interest in these materials stemmed from their ability to act as model …

Discotic liquid crystals are unique nanostructures with remarkable electronic and
optoelectronic properties. Triphenylene derivatives play a major role in the research on …

Self-assembly and self-organisation represent powerful tools for the programmed
generation of supramolecular materials with well-defined structures. 1 They involve the …

A 1, 3, 5-benzenetrisamide with three pending hexaalkoxytriphenylene groups has been
synthesized as an example of an interesting class of intermolecular H-bond-stabilized …

Hekates: Modular synthesis of star‐shaped molecules affords mesogens with various
functional units and incompatible peripheral chains (see figure). The supramolecular order …

A homologous series of linear liquid crystal trimers, the 4, 4′-bis [ω-(4-methoxyazobenzene-
