Abstract

Abstract : A new liquid crystalline honeycomb with an organization of π-conjugated rods parallel to the honeycomb cells is formed by molecular self-assembly. Abstract : p -Terphenyl based Y-shaped bolapolyphiles self-assemble into liquid crystalline honeycombs with co-axial organization of the π-conjugated rods around columns filled by alkyl sidechains. In this new hexagonal honeycomb with P 6 /mmm symmetry the orientation of the π-conjugated rods is perpendicular to the tangential honeycombs formed at lower temperature or with longer chain length.
