Abstract
The synthesis of a novel phthalocyanine mesogen, containing four flexi ble side chains terminated with a bulky trityl moiety, is described. T his compound forms a well defined anisotropic glass, indefinitely stab le at room temperature, in which the hexagonal ordered structure of it s columnar mesophase is preserved. Such a glassy state should be usefu l for anisotropic conductivity studies.
