Thermotropic discotic and smectic liquid crystallinity can be
induced for folic acid derivatives having octadecyl and undecyl
substituents in wide temperatures ranges, respectively; the addition of
sodium triflate to smectic liquid-crystalline folic acid leads to a change
of the assembled structures from smectic to columnar phases.
