Abstract: Pyramidic liquid crystals are mesogens derived from the cone-shaped tribenzocyclononene (TBCN) core, substituted with appropriate side chains. The pyramidic mesophases consist of two-dimensional columnar structures in which the rigid cores of the mesogen molecules are stacked in parallel on top of each other. In the present work X-ray and deuterium NMR measurements on the solid and mesomorphic phases of homologues ...
