title: Charge-transport in crystalline organic semiconductors with liquid crystalline order.
abstract: We report the design and synthesis of a liquid crystalline material exhibiting highly ordered smectic phases and high charge carrier-mobility; by a process known as "paramorphosis" highly ordered smectic phases can be transferred to the amorphous crystalline state on crystallisation without the formation of significant crystal grain boundaries and deep traps.
