Hole transport has been investigated by the time-of-flight method for the hexagonal columnar phase of a discogen containing a strongly dipolar nitro substituent; 1-nitro-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(hexyloxy)triphenylene (HAT6-NO2). Unlike the corresponding unsubstituted system, 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(hexyloxy)triphenylene (HAT6), and unlike most other liquid crystals, the mobility in HAT-NO2 depends strongly on both electric field and temperature. As in amorphous solids there is disorder dominated hopping and the mobility can be modeled using an energy disorder parameter, sigma of just over 100 meV. Compared to HAT6, the disorder in HAT6-NO2 is enhanced because of the strong dipole of the nitro group. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
