Well stacked: A liquid-crystalline material with crystalline π stacks has been synthesized in which the room-temperature liquid-crystalline phase consists of alternating 2D-crystalline mesogen layers and liquidlike alkyl layers. A long-range ordered layer structure forms as a consequence of the resulting microsegregation (see picture), with the π stacks contributing to the 2D crystalline order that exists within a layer.
