New self-assembled discotic columnar liquid crystals were prepared via single hydrogen bonding between the core molecule of 1,3,5-cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid and the peripheral units of stilbazole derivatives. The hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals exhibited rectangular columnar and hexagonal columnar mesophases depending on the number of alkyl chains in three arms of the discotic mesogen through dipole-dipole interactions between carbonyl groups along the column axis. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding between carboxylic acid and pyridine moieties provides an effortless methodology to prepare the ordered columnar liquid crystals for electronic applications.
