Triphenylene‐based discotic liquid crystal dimers, oligomers and polymers

Abstract

Discotic liquid crystals are unique nanostructures with remarkable electronic and optoelectronic properties. Triphenylene derivatives play a major role in the research on discotic liquid crystals. Following recent reviews of the chemistry of triphenylene‐based monomeric liquid crystals, this article now reviews the chemistry and physical properties of triphenylene‐based discotic dimeric, oligomeric and polymeric liquid crystals.
