Calamitic and discotic mesophases formed by kinetically controlled rod–disc alternation of molecular shape in a triphenylene–azobenzene mesogenic system

Abstract

A triphenylene mesogen with the peripheral azobenzene units was found to show kinetically controlled bimesomorphism, with a metastable smectic and a stable hexagonal columnar (Colh) phases on cooling, which is caused by the rod–disc alternation of the molecular shape.
