An absorbing study: The displayed quaterrylenebis(dicarboximide) was imparted with lyotropic liquid-crystalline properties by molecular design. The ability of the molecule to self-organize in solution allows for the subsequent control of its orientation in thin solid films. Induced orientation of the liquid-crystalline domains of the molecule under a shearing force results in highly anisotropically ordered films that serve as dichroic polarizers of light at wavelengths greater than 600 nm.
