Abstract
Substituted hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes (HBC) belong to the family of molecules which are able to self assemble in discotic columnar liquid crystalline (LC) mesophases [1]. High mobility of charge carriers both in LC and solid phase [2] makes them interesting from a point of view of developing molecular electronic devices e.g. light emitting diodes (LEDs) or field effect transistors (FETs). Studies on preparation of samples with suitable supramolecular structures are of a primary importance for such potential applications. In this communication, results concerning the structure and morphology of the HBC-C12 (HBC substituted with R=n-C12H25) solidified from a solution on various substrates and as a component in polymer composites are presented.
