Charge Transfer Salts of Highly Oriented Fibers of Discotic Liquid Crystal HET-n

Abstract
The charge transfer salt of highly oriented fibers of discotic liquid crystals of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexa-alkoxytriphenylene (HET-n) and 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexa-alkanoyloxytriphenylene (HAT-n) can be made by a strand technique followed by a doping process. As a result, the bromine doped HET-5 fiber shows a conductivity of three orders of magnitude higher than that of the bromine doped HET-5 powder.
