Optical observations on the mesomorphs of benzene-hexa-n-alkanoates, and their admixtures with benzene, show that the planes of these discotic molecules are not perpendicular to the columns in which they are stacked, as was supposed originally. This evidence comes principally from the occurrence in texture domains of circular bending, between crossed polarizer and analyser, of oblique extinction brushes (i.e., brushes not parallel or perpendicular to polarizer and analyser directions). The obliquity varies from specimen to specimen up to a maximum of about 35°. A tilted stacking, with a tilt angle (for the optic axes of the molecules) of about 35°, will fit all the observations. Four alternative variants of such structures, two with the sam...
