Small molecules of the indene and pseudoazulene type like 1 and 2 form columnar mesophases! These compounds do not possess peripheral flexible chains like conventional columnar liquid crystals. Instead, polarizable chlorine and sulfur atoms, as well as the polar cyano group, function as unusual soft regions between the rigid columns.
