Since the early work of Chandrasekhar and his co-workers on hexaesters of benzene
published in 1977, discotic liquid crystals (DLCs), in particular, triphenylene-based DLC …

Columnar phases formed by the stacking of disclike molecules with an intimate π–π overlap
forms a 1D pathway for the anisotropic charge migration along the columns. Columnar …

This article summarises recent advances made in our laboratory towards the development of
new technological applications, such as biosensors and organic light-emitting diodes …

The finding of pure organic emitter materials is the need of the hour for the mass production
of cost-effective and metal-free fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). In this …

Four new donor–acceptor triads (D–A–D) based on discotic and arylene mesogens have
been synthesized by using Sonogashira coupling and cyclization reactions. This family of …

Liquid crystalline materials possess great potential as emitters in organic light‐emitting
diodes (OLEDs) due to their self‐assembling property, which may lead to anisotropic films …

This article describes the design and development of a discotic triad, where perylene is
sandwiched between two pentaalkynyl benzene units, linked via a flexible alkyl spacer. The …
