A homologous series of disc-like 1,3,6-trisubstituted benzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-4-yls 1[n] was synthesized and their structural, thermal, optical, magnetic, and electric properties were investigated. The results demonstrate that all members of the series display a Col(h) phase with clearing temperatures depending on the length of the alkoxy chains at the N(1) position, hence the shape of the disc. Powder XRD and magnetic data indicate a gradual change in the column diameter and magnetic behavior in the series in transition from half-disc in 1[0] (antiferromagnetic interactions) to full-disc geometry in the 1[12] homologue (ferromagnetic interactions with J/k(B)=+7.5 K). Studies of binary systems revealed that a 1 : 1 mixture of 1[0] and 1[12] exhibits modest stabilization of the Col(h) phase with an expanded range, and magnetic behavior typical for 1[0] in the rigid phase obtained from the melt. Electric measurements demonstrated hole mobility of similar to 10(-3) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and dark conductivity of similar to 10(-11) Scm(-1) in the mixture and individual compounds. The latter is enhanced up to 4 times by simultaneous illumination with UV light.
