Liquid-crystalline gold nanoparticles were prepared by grafting mesomorphic α,β- unsaturated carbonyl olefins onto the organic shell of gold nanoparticles containing terminal olefin ligands by applying the olefin cross-metathesis. The latter reaction was performed under standard conditions using second-generation Grubbs catalyst. The title materials were found to be stable up to 200 °C and...

Grafting of a ferrocene-containing liquid-crystalline malonate derivative to C60 led to the mixed fullerene-ferrocene material 1 which gave rise to a smectic A phase. Cholesterol was used as liquid-crystalline promoter. X-ray diffraction experiments and volumetric measurements indicated that 1 is organized in double layered structures. The corresponding supramolecular...

A liquid-crystalline mixed [5 : 1]hexa-adduct of [60]fullerene was synthesized by addition of two different malonate derivatives onto C60. The hexa-adduct derivative 2 was prepared by a stepwise synthetic procedure (fullerene -> mono-adduct of C60 -> hexa-adduct of C60). Cyanobiphenyl and octyloxybiphenyl derivatives were selected as mesogens. The malonate derivatives...
