title: Self-organization of star-shaped columnar liquid crystals with a coaxial nanophase segregation revealed by a combined experimental and simulation approach.
abstract: Fully consistent X-ray data and molecular dynamics simulations on new star-shaped liquid crystals yield two nanosegregated architectures with a coaxial stacking of two functional discotic units: tris(triazolyl)triazine and triphenylene. Analysis of lattice order along the principal axes reveals preferential staggered arrangement of the stacked molecules in the columnar assembly.
