Soft supramolecular triangles : The molecule shown displays a new liquid‐crystalline phase formed by a periodic array of triangular cylinders. The cylinders are fused to form a honeycomb by hydrogen‐bonding networks running along the vertices, and the cells are filled by molten alkyl chains. The thickness of the walls separating the compartments is equal to the width of the π‐conjugated rods.
