Three novel series of triphenylene-based derivatives possessing functional group (ester, carboxylic acid, or hydroxy) at the ends of two aliphatic chains on the opposite position of triphenylene core have been synthesized and studied on mesomorphic properties. Their chemical structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS, and the thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were also investigated by polarizing optical ...
