The stacking order and distance in columnar phases of triindole-based liquid crystals is controlled by an ethynyl linker (see picture; orange rod) between the central triindole core (green) and the peripheral flexible chains of a discotic mesogen. Hole (h) mobility is very high even if the stacking distances is not very short and the conjugated system is not particularly extended. Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
