Abstract A number of new 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexakis (heptyloxy) triphenylenes possessing a chiral substituent in position 1 of the triphenylene ring system and characterized by predictable mesomorphism were synthesized. The effect of the nature of the chiral fragment (dehydrocholic, lipoic, and d-tartaric acid residues) on the mesomorphic properties of triphenlylene ethers was studied. N-[2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexakis (heptylozy) triphenylen-1-yl] ...
