Tailoring Discotic Mesophases: Columnar Order Enforced with Hydrogen Bonds by R.I. Gearba; M. Lehmann; J. Levin; D.A. Ivanov; M.H.J. Koch; J. Barberá; M.G. Debije; J. Piris; Y.H. Geerts is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
**Hydrogen bonding can be used to significantly enforce** the intra‐columnar stacking order in discotic mesogens. The ordered hexagonal columnar mesophase of a HAT‐CONHR derivative is characterized by the smallest inter‐disk distance ever found in columnar liquid crystals (3.18–3.20 Å). This additional attractive interaction between the disks in the column results in a regular disc stacking and thus in a high charge‐carrier mobility over the whole investigated temperature range (from room temperature up to 200 °C).
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
