The orientational behaviour of the nematic discotic phase of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexa(4-n-octyloxybenzoyloxy)triphenylene (C8OBT) on substrates coated with a polyimide or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was investigated by polarizing optical microscopy. The averaged order parameters and directions of the triphenylene core and the carbonyl groups of C8OBT were evaluated by an infrared dichroic method. The discotic nematic (ND) phase of C8OBT exhibits a homeotropic alignment on a polyimide film, a typical nematic schlieren texture on a glass substrate, and a tilted or planar homogeneous alignment on a CTAB-coated substrate. The order parameter of the triphenylene core is higher on a polyimide film (S = 0.6) than on a CTAB-coated substrate (S = 0.2), whereas that of the carbonyl groups remains roughly constant at 0.2 to 0.3 independent of the substrate for the ND phase.
