Three-chain truxene discotic liquid crystal showing high charged carrier mobility†
Abstract
A new truxene discotic liquid crystal possessing only three octyloxy chains (3C8OTRX) was studied on the mesomorphic and semiconducting properties to reveal that it exhibits a high drift mobility of positive carriers in the order of 10−2 cm2 V−1 s−1 in the hexagonal ordered columnar (Colho) mesophase.
