Abstract
The synthesis, characterization, and mesomorphic properties of a new type o f liquid-crystalline twin bearing a pentadecyloxytriphenylene subunit tethe red via a decyl spacer to a chiral pentakis( 3,7-dimethyloctyloxy)triphenyl ene are reported. The target compound displays a hexagonal columnar mesopha se. which is metastable at room temperature.
