title: Synthesis and columnar mesophase of fluorescent liquid crystals bearing a C2-symmetric chiral core.
abstract: A chiral and fluorescent columnar mesogen prepared from chiral binaphthols is reported. This liquid crystal comprises a C2-symmetric chiral core with two staggered aromatic planes. Its hexagonal columnar (Col(h)) mesophase was characterized by appropriate physical methods.
