Liquid-crystalline fullerodendrimers which display columnar phases

Org Lett. 2006 Apr 27;8(9):1851-4. doi: 10.1021/ol0603920.

Abstract

[structure: see text] The title compounds were synthesized by applying the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of aldehyde-based poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers and sarcosine (N-methylglycine) to [60]fullerene (C(60)). The dendritic building blocks used to functionalize C(60) displayed cubic and hexagonal columnar phases. The fullerene derivatives showed rectangular columnar phases of c2mm symmetry.
