A discotic liquid‐crystalline (LC) material, consisting of a planarized triphenylborane mesogen, was synthesized. X‐ray diffraction analysis confirmed that this compound forms a hexagonal columnar LC phase with an interfacial distance of 3.57 Å between the discs. At ambient temperature, this boron‐centered discotic liquid crystal exhibited ambipolar carrier transport properties with electron and hole mobility values of approximately 10 −3 and 3×10 −5  cm 2  V −1  s −1 , respectively.
