Graphical Abstract

The generation of a dodecagonal columnar liquid quasicrystal is revealed by Carsten Tschierske, Feng Liu and co-workers in their Research Article (e202314454). Constructed by the T-shaped facial polyphiles, a special trapezoid tile with three aromatic walls and one flexible aliphatic wall becomes crucial for reaching the delicate balance between steric and entropic effects required by quasiperiodicity.
