Ion and hole dual-channel transport columnar mesomorphic organic electronic materials with high anisotropic conductivities based on supramolecular discotic ionic liquid crystals

Discotic ILCs via host–guest complexation of tris(18-crown-6)triphenylene and potassium trialkoxybenzenesulfonate in aligned columnar mesophases are capable of dual-channel transport showing both high ionic conductivities and hole mobilities.
