Abstract
The combination of anisometric sub-units with an additional intramolecular functionality has frequently resulted in the creation of supramolecular systems not only able to form thermotropic mesophases due to their anisotropic molecular shape but also capable of structure formation resulting from their amphiphilic properties and/or from non-covalent intermolecular interactions with complementary components. This article summarizes different examples of this interplay of structure formation tendencies based on functionalized sheet-like liquid crystals.Keywords
