Several dissymmetrical hexasubstituted triphenylenes have been prepared. They exhibit a low temperature thermotropic mesophase. It is shown that it corresponds to a columnar mesophase (an hexagonal arrangement of columns of discs). The magnetic properties of these new disc-like liquid crystals are compared with those of the corresponding symmetrical ones.
