Liquid‐crystalline (LC) N ‐heteroacenes , tetraazanaphthacene (TANC), and fluoflavin (FFV) were synthesized, and their self‐assembly into columnar LC structures at room temperature was investigated. LC TANC and LC FFV functioned as an electron acceptor and electron donor, respectively. A TANC/FFV LC mixture showed ESR activity in the presence of a strong base.
