12. The appearance of a liquid crystalline phase of sexithiophene was reported by C. Taliani et al., and S. Destri et al., (C. Taliani, R. Zamboni, G. Ruani, S. Rossini, and R. Lazzaroni, J. Mol. Electron., 6, 225 (1990); S. Destri, M. Masherpa, and W. Porzio, Adv. Mater., 5, 43 (1993) ) at temperatures higher than 300°C without any indication of the clearing point up to 350°C.
