molecule. We consider that the entire molecule 3 forms individual columns in this
Col ro phase. The structure of this Col ro structure is shown in the top panel of Fig. 5.
From this study, we conclude that the relationship between the alkyl tails and
spacers is important. When the alkyl spacers between Tp and Pc are similar or longer
