Probing the structural factors influencing columnar mesophase formation and stability in triphenylene discotics
Andrew N. Cammidge, Céline Chausson, Hemant Gopee, Juanjuan Li and David L. Hughes
Series of structurally related substituted triphenylene derivatives were designed and synthesised to interrogate key features which determine mesophase formation and stability, and to challenge the general conclusions previously proposed by us and others. It is apparent that no single, simple principle can be universally applied.
