Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) A good connection: A polyphilic oligothiophene derivative (see formula) forms a complex liquid-crystalline phase, in which the π-conjugated rods are organized in a honeycomb-like network of square cylinders (see picture). This arrangement opens new possibilities for the directed organization of π-conjugated organic materials into complex superstructures and patterns for the design of functional devices by means of liquid-crystal self-assembly.
