Abstract

A new truxene discotic liquid crystal possessing only three octyloxy chains (3C8OTRX) was studied on the mesomorphic and semiconducting properties to reveal that it exhibits a high drift mobility of positive carriers in the order of 10(-2) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in the hexagonal ordered columnar (Col(ho)) mesophase.
