TL;DR: A 1,3,5-benzenetrisamide with three pending hexaalkoxytriphenylene groups has been synthesized as an example of an interesting class of intermolecular H-bond-stabilized columnar discotic liquid crystalline materials as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of 1,3,5-benzenetrisamide derivatives with three hexaalkoxytriphenylene pendant groups were prepared, in which the triphenylene groups are connected to the central 1, 3, 5-benzelamide core through a flexible spacer, as well as the size of the ortho-substituent at the core, influences the columnar packing of these molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and phase behavior of a new series of unsymmetrically substituted hexaalkoxytriphenylene-based liquid crystals are reported, where one of the hexyloxy chains in HAT6 is replaced by either a shorter or a longer chain, HAT•(OC6H13)5(OC n H2n+1).

TL;DR: The synthesis and thermotropic properties for a series of hexaalkoxytriphenylenes that contain an amide, urea or thiourea group in one of their alkoxy tails are reported in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics and phase behavior of the discotic liquid crystalline compound hexahexyloxytriphenylene (HAT6) and a derivative were studied by broad-band dielectric spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy.
