Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of novel C3h-symmetric 2,4,6-tris(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (THPT) derivatives. These compounds possess an interesting intramolecular hydrogen bonding pattern, which leads to the planarization between the triazine ring and the pendant aryl groups. The enhanced π-stacking interaction, resulting from the planarization, facilitates the column formation. Two of them exhibit a columnar hexagonal phase (Colh) over a wide temperature range induced by strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
