21. Rapid cooling (e.g., 5°C/min) of the isotropic liquid of Trip-C12 results in the formation of multidomain films (fig. S7B).
22. Atomic force microscopy of a thin film fabricated by spin-coating a diluted toluene solution of Trip-C12 allows the visualization of the 2D (hexagonal triptycene array) + 1D (layer stacking) structure (fig. S10).

25. Trip-C12 and Trip-C18 are miscible with each other in the molar ratios of Trip-C12: Trip-C18 = 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 and coassemble into a well-defined 2D + 1D structure (fig. S21).
