Segregated co-assembly of fullerene-triphenylene hybrid dendrimers in columnar mesophases showing ambipolar charge transport

Liquid-crystalline dendrimers with donor triphenylene as the peripheral discotic mesogens and acceptor fullerene as the dendrimer core have been designed and synthesized with the aim of achieving heterojunction ambipolar charge...

Preparation of substituted triphenylenes via nickel-mediated Yamamoto coupling

Nickel-mediated Yamamoto coupling provides a concise and efficient synthesis of triphenylene derivatives, including electron-deficient discotic mesogens.

Tailoring the phase diagram of discotic mesogens.

The computational modelling of discotic molecules is a central topic in colloid science that is key for the smart design of a broad range of modern functional materials. This work...

Field-induced anti-nematic and biaxial ordering in binary mixtures of discotic mesogens and spherical magnetic nanoparticles

Using computer simulations we explore the equilibrium structure and response to external stimuli of complex magnetic hybrids consisting of magnetic particles in discotic liquid crystalline matrices.

Charge transport in phenazine-fused triphenylene discotic mesogens doped with CdS nanowires

We report the synthesis of oleylamine capped CdS nanowires and we have dispersed a small optimized amount of these NWs in the Colh phase of a recently synthesized phenazine-fused-triphenylene discotic liquid crystal to understand the temperature-dependent charge transport.

Carbon dot-dispersed hexabutyloxytriphenylene discotic mesogens: structural, morphological and charge transport behavior

Triphenylene core-grafted 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexabutyloxytriphenylene (HAT4) discotic mesogens were synthesized and their composite matrices have been prepared by dispersing different concentrations of carbon dots (C-dots).

Competing forces in the self-assembly of amide-functionalized discotic mesogens

The effect of incorporating a single amide group on the self-assembly of discotic mesogens was examined.

Chiral amplification of disodium cromoglycate chromonics induced by a codeine derivative

Chromonic liquid crystals (CLC) are lyotropic phases formed by discotic mesogens in water.
