Triphenylenes [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks] — includes triphenylene derivatives substituted with alkoxy, bromo, or hydroxy groups at positions 2,3,6,7,10,11 of the planar aromatic framework. This group of building blocks plays a role in forming the discotic structures that underlie columnar liquid crystal phases.
These triphenylenes are used by materials and organic electronics researchers to construct discotic liquid crystals with charge conduction along the column direction, supporting the development of optoelectronic devices such as organic solar cells and OLEDs. Halogenated derivatives such as hexabromo serve as intermediates for cross-coupling toward more complex triphenylene structures.
Example products in this collection: TCI H1677 156244-98-3 2-Hydroxy-3,6,7,10,11-pentakis(hexyloxy)triphenylene, TCI H0898 808-57-1 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexamethoxytriphenylene, TCI H1201 82632-80-2 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexabromotriphenylene, TCI H0907 4877-80-9 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexahydroxytriphenylene.
Pay attention to the length of the alkoxy chains and the substitution pattern, which affect phase transition temperatures and the stability of the columnar mesophase at the desired operating temperature. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
