Abstract
A variety of molecules reversibly self-assemble in solution, forming n on-covalently bonded molecular aggregates. In many cases these aggrega tes are asymmetric in shape and are observed to form liquid-crystal ph ases. The nature of and mechanisms for liquid-crystalline ordering in such self-assembled systems is the focus of this review.
