Abstract

Three new perylene-3,4-dicarboximide chromophores5a–c have been synthesized. They are characterized by high extinction coefficients and excellent thermal and photochemical stability. They display liquid crystallinity and exhibit several discotic phases depending upon temperature and substitution pattern.
