Abstract S, S-Dialkylacetals of aldoses, tripodal in structure and recently synthesized in large numbers by three groups, do not exhibit thermotropically a smectic, but a columnar hexagonal mesophase (Hx) as we have proved by X-ray diffraction. The molecular organization in this mesophase is comparable with a similar one known for phasmidic molecules. These various multiols, although different in stereo-chemistry, form only one type of hydrogen-bonded disc-shaped multimer. Its mesophase structure is made up of about five molecules placed in columns with a skeleton of hydrogen-bridged sugar parts surrounded by thioalkyl groups in the periphery. Since three 6-deoxy sugar dithioacetals were shown to be non-thermomesomorphic the terminal hydroxyl function is essential for this molecular arrangement which seems not to be true for missing ones in the inner part of a sugar chain, as we have found in one case.
