Mesomorphic Poly(aryl ester)/Poly(benzyl ether) Dendrimers/co-Dendrimers with C60 as the Core
Structure-properties relations of liquid crystalline fullerene-containing poly(aryl ester)/poly(benzyl ether) dendritic compounds with variation of C60 linkage type have been analyzed based on experimental data on their total polarity and electro-optical Kerr effect in benzene solutions. There was established that fulleropyrrolidine as the core of dendrimer strongly restricts rotational freedom of dendrons, in contrast to methanofullerene. A conclusion that not only terminal mesogenic groups and dendrons' generation number, but a manner of C60 incorporation into the dendritic matrix also influences on the mesomorphic behavior of these multicomponent hybrid-type liquid crystalline compounds had been made.
