A novel symmetric tetrathiafulvalene molecule (symTTF11) with four flexible alkyl chains chemically attached to the peripheries of board-shaped mesogens was newly synthesized. The phase behaviors and physical properties were investigated by the combined experimental technique. Based on the thermal, microscopic and scattering experiments and analyses, molecular packing structures of columnar crystalline phase and a columnar smectic LC phase were indentified. Since the assembled symTTF11 columns were well organized in the ordered layer structures over a macroscopic domain, symTTF11 showed good charge carrier mobility. This work was mainly supported by the Human Resource Training Project for Regional Innovation and the Converging Research Center Program (2012K001428) of Korean government. |
