A series of tetraphenylporphyrin-based thermotropic liquid crystals containing oligo(dimethylsiloxane) were synthesized. These disc-coil hybrids form ordered nanostructures with periodic sizes on the sub-5 nm scale, including oblique columnar, lamellar, and hexagonal columnar phases. Films with sub-5 nm line patterns and homeotropically aligned columnar structures can be obtained by substrate-induced self-assembly.
