The conductive properties of molecular wires constructed by columnar self-assembly of peripherally substituted large aromatic macrocycles are reported. The Figure illustrates how planar, disc-shaped aromatic molecules form a discotic liquid crystal (LC) phase consisting effectively of coaxially insulated wires of "one-dimensional graphite". The intracolumnar charge mobility is the lar est yet for a discotic LC material.
