Abstract
Communication: The liquid-crystalline behavior of rod-like mesogens is normally associated with the formation of smectic layer structures. H owever, it is shown that the introduction of large hydrophilic groups in a lateral position, such as in the Figure, can lead to columnar mes ophases. The formation of columnar mesophases by rod-like molecules is suggested to be a more general phenomenon than currently thought.
