Abstract
Tailoring of phase transition temperatures of columnar liquid crystals by side chain variation is often associated with an undesired change in the mesophase type and/or geometry. To overcome this problem phenoxy-terminated side chains rather than alkyl side chains were grafted onto triphenylbenzenes, which resulted in reduced clearing points, while melting points were little affected. More importantly, helical columnar self-assembly was not compromised.

Abstract
A new poly(amidoamine) dendron having 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) at the focal point was synthesized. Interestingly, formation of zwitterionic fullerodendrons (λmax = 930 nm for C60 and 795 nm for C70) were observed by Vis-NIR spectroscopy upon the reaction of C60 or C70 with the DBN-focal dendron. In particular, the C70 anion was effectively stabilized by the site isolation effect of the dendritic wedge. The half-life of fullerodendron 12b having C70 anion at the focal point reaches 7,345 min, which is 20 times longer than that of complex between C60 and pristine DBN. Furthermore, in order to confirm the structure of the zwitterionic complex, fullerodendron 12a was reprecipitated from benzonitrile/1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and was observed using IR spectroscopy and APPI-MS.

Abstract
Liquid-crystalline materials containing fullerenes are valuable in the development of supramolecular switches and in solar cell technology. In this study, we characterize the liquid-crystalline and dynamic properties of fullerene-containing thermotropic compounds using solid-state natural abundance (13)C NMR experiments under stationary and magic angle spinning sample conditions. Chemical shifts spectra were measured in isotropic, liquid-crystalline nematic and smectic A and crystalline phases using one-dimensional (13)C experiments, while two-dimensional separated local-field experiments were used to measure the (1)H- (13)C dipolar couplings in mesophases. Chemical shift and dipolar coupling parameters were used to characterize the structure and dynamics of the liquid-crystalline dyads. NMR data of fullerene-containing thermotropic liquid crystals are compared to that of basic mesogenic unit and mesomorphic promoter compounds. Our NMR results suggest that the fullerene-ferrocene dyads form highly dynamic liquid-crystalline phases in which molecules rotate fast around the symmetry axis on the characteristic NMR time scale of approximately 10 (-4) s.
