A. Kraft et al., Supramolecular liquid crystals with columnar mesophases through self-assembly of carboxylic acids around a tribasic core, CHEM COMMUN, (12), 2000, pp. 1015-1016
The self-assembly of long chain alkoxy-substituted benzoic acids around tri
basic core 1 provides a simple and flexible way to supramolecular liquid cr
ystals with columnar mesophases.
