  1. A new synthetic approach for fluorinated alkoxytriphenylene discotic liquid crystals is presented. This methodology exploits the previously described photocyclodehydrofluorination (PCDHF) reaction for the preparation of fluorinated triphenylene derivatives coupled with a variety of nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S N Ar) reactions. This particular combination of reactions provides a versatile route to discotic materials with carefully controlled core fluorine and alkoxy tail content. In the course of these studies, new discotic materials with minimal tail content have been revealed. The mesogenic properties of these materials are reported, and their charge transport properties are measured using the time of flight technique.
