Abstract
Communication: Incorporation of emission properties into organic liquid cry stals (LCs) is currently an active area of research. The authors present th e first example of a functional phasmidic LC with intrinsic luminescence pr operties. It is shown that organization in the solid state-the Figure indic ates the average ordering of hexacatenar LCs in the hexagonal phase (top vi ew)-has a distinct effect on the emission profiles of these materials.
