A library of C 3 ‐symmetrical molecules consisting of a 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxamide core extended by dipeptide fragments, which bear peripheral mesogenic groups, have been synthesized. The self‐assembling properties of the resulting compounds are reported by E. W. Meijer et al. in their Full Paper on page 8111 ff. Subtle modifications in the dipeptide motifs strongly influence the stability and the order within the self‐assemblies, which makes it possible to tune the stacking properties.
