A [12]phenacene exclusively decorated with four lateral hexylester substituents self-assembles into a nematic liquid crystal glass on cooling after melting at high temperature. This uniaxial nematic organization of a plank-shaped nanographene is unpr... Read More about An unusual plank-shaped nematogen with a graphene nanoribbon core.
