Photoluminescent nematic liquid crystals have been an attractive research target for decades, because of their potential applications in optoelectrical devices. Integration of luminescent motifs into cyclic structures is a promising approach to induce low-ordered liquid-crystalline phases, even though relatively large and rigid luminophores are used as emitters. Here, we demonstrate a 1,6-diphenylpyrene-based, unsymmetric cyclophane showing a stable nematic phase at room temperature and exhibiting strong photoluminescence from the condensed state. The observed sky-blue photoluminescence was dominated by the emission species ascribed to assembled luminophores rather than monomers.
