Abstract
Liquid crystals from large graphitic segments: Discotic compounds based on substituted superphenalenes were prepared by a surprisingly simple synthesis and processed to give soft and highly soluble columnar liquid-crystalline mate-rials. The regiospecific synthesis leads to compounds with pinwheel-type C3 symmetry.
