Abstract

Fully consistent X-ray data and molecular dynamics simulations on new star-shaped liquid crystals yield two nanosegregated architectures with a coaxial stacking of two functional discotic units: tris(triazolyl)triazine and triphenylene. Analysis of lattice order along the principal axes reveals preferential staggered arrangement of the stacked molecules in the columnar assembly.
