Abstract
The synthesis, electrochemistry and mesogenic properties of novel anthraqui nolyl-triphenylenes are described. H-1 NMR, UV-vis, solution electrochemist ry and molecular modelling studies indicate that an intermolecular charge-t ransfer interaction occurs between the anthraquinone moiety and the triphen ylene nucleus.
