The columnar liquid crystalline structure of terephthal-bis-<4-(3',4',5'-triheptyloxybenzoyloxy)-aniline> has been studied using dilatometry and X-ray diffraction. It corresponds to the stacking of the rodlike phasmidic molecules in columns. These are arranged according to a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice.
