Comparison of these three methods allows the determination of the structural arrangement. X-ray film exposures of oriented samples clearly demonstrate the hexagonal columnar ordered type of mesophases. A simple model calculation shows that the alkyl chains of neighbouring columns interpenetrate each other to a small extent.en500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematikx-rayliquid christalsArticle1865-7109
