[60]Fulleropyrrolidine-containing poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers 1−4 were synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of amino acid and aldehyde derivatives and [60]fullerene. Their dielectric and electrooptical (Kerr effect) solution properties were studied and compared with poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers, namely DAB-dendr-(alkyl chain)n and...

In situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy in a flow-through cell combined with online UV−vis spectroscopy was used to investigate the oxidation of 2-propanol over Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. The state of the catalyst was driven fast between reduced and oxidized by admitting alternately dissolved hydrogen and oxygen, and the response of the catalytic solid−liquid...

Synthesis and characterization of new hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives bearing perfluoroalkylated chains are described. These disc-shaped polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons are known to self-assemble by π-stacking into columnar architectures. The peripheral decoration with perfluorinated chains, well-known for their low van der Waals forces, leads as expected to reduced intercolumnar...

Two fullerene–peralkylated ferrocene derivatives were synthesized: (1) a liquid-crystalline dyad (compound 1) was obtained by introduction of nonamethyl ferrocene into a liquid-crystalline fullerene derivative and (2) a reference compound (compound 2) was synthesized by attachment of nonamethyl ferrocene to a fulleropyrrolidine. The liquid-crystalline dyad displayed an enantiotropic smectic A...

Depuis la découverte des cristaux liquides au XIXième siècle, leur intérêt n’a cessé de croître, menant à des applications toujours plus nombreuses. Très répandue dans la nature, l’architecture dendritique a permis de rendre mésomorphe l’objet anisotrope qu’est le fullerène, celui-ci, dont les propriétés photophysiques sont des plus enthousiasmantes, a souvent été lié à...
