By doping low molar mass or polymeric liquid crystals containing flat disc-like units with electron acceptors one achieves a stabilization of columnar phases, the induction of a columnar phases in otherwise discotic nematic or even in amorphous systems. Theoretical models based on the assumption of strong electron donator-acceptor (EDA) complex formation are able to account for the structure formation on a molecular level and the thermodynamic properties of the mixtures and the model of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) for the structure formation on a supermolecular structure.
