The maximum one‐dimensional mobility of charge within the insulated cores of columnarly stacked discotic molecules increases with increasing size (the number of C, N, and O atoms constituting the central aromatic macrocycle, see Figure) of the central core. This relationship can serve as a design criterion for discotic materials in future molecular electronic devices.
