Abstract
Abstract Triphenylene derivatives of the formula I ##STR1## wherein X 1 to X 6 are each, independently of one another, --SH, --SR, --SOR, --SO 2 R or --S--COR, and each R is an alkyl group with up to 20 C atoms, it being possible for one or two CH 2 groups to be replaced by O atoms and/or by unsubstituted or substituted vinylene or vinylidene groups, may be used as components of discotic liquid-crystalline phases.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A triphenylene of the formula ##STR3## wherein X 1 to X 6 are each --SH, --SR, --SOR, --SO 2 R or --S--COR, and each R is alkyl of up to 20 C atoms, or such an alkyl group wherein one or two CH 2 groups not bound to S are replaced by O atoms and/or vinylene or vinylidene groups or vinylene or vinylidene groups substituted by F, Cl or CN, the total number of C atoms being up to 20 in all cases, and O atoms being non-adjacent the X-substitution being hexakis and saturated, or pentakis and saturated with the sixth X being unsaturated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A triphenylene of the formula ##STR3## wherein X 1 to X 6 are each --SH, --SR, --SOR, --SO 2 R or --S--COR, and each R is alkyl of up to 20 C atoms, or such an alkyl group wherein one or two CH 2 groups not bound to S are replaced by O atoms and/or vinylene or vinylidene groups or vinylene or vinylidene groups substituted by F, Cl or CN, the total number of C atoms being up to 20 in all cases, and O atoms being non-adjacent the X-substitution being hexakis and saturated, or pentakis and saturated with the sixth X being unsaturated.
