    Liquid-crystalline methanofullerodendrimers were synthesized via the Bingel addition reaction of mesomorphic malonate derivatives and C60. Second- and third-generation poly(benzyl ether) dendrons were selected as liquid-crystalline promoters to induce columnar mesomorphism. Based on a convergent and modular synthetic methodology, symmetrical (two identical dendrons) and non-symmetrical (two different dendrons) dendrimers were prepared, as well as hemidendrimers (only one dendron). The liquid-crystalline properties of the malonates and fullerodendrimers were investigated by polarized optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. All the malonates give rise to hexagonal columnar phases of p6mm symmetry. As for the fullerodendrimers, the second-generation hemidendrimer shows a rectangular columnar phase of c2mm symmetry, while the other materials give rise to hexagonal columnar phases of p6mm symmetry.

    Janus-type liq.-cryst. fullerodendrimers were synthesized via the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddtition of 2 mesomorphic dendrons and C60. By assembling poly(aryl ester) dendrons functionalized with cyanobiphenyl groups, displaying lamellar mesomorphism, with poly(benzyl ether) dendrons carrying alkyl chains, which display columnar mesomorphism, the authors could tailor by design the liq.-cryst. properties of the title compds. as a function of each dendron size. The liq.-cryst. properties were examd. by polarized optical microscopy, DSC, and x-ray diffraction. Depending on the dendrimer generations, smectic (SmC and/or SmA phases) or columnar (Colr-c2mm or Colr-p2gg phases) mesomorphism was obtained. The supramol. organization is governed by (1) the adequacy of the cross-sectional area of the dendrons, (2) the microsegregation of the dendrimer, (3) the deformation of the dendritic core, and (4) the dipolar interactions between the cyanobiphenyl groups. Comparison of the mesomorphic properties of 2 fullerodendrimers with those of model compds. (fullerene-free analogs) indicated that the C60 unit does not influence the type of mesophase that is formed. Mol. properties detd. in soln. (permanent dipole moment, specific dielec. polarization, molar Kerr const.) confirm that microsegregation persists in soln. and strengthen the models proposed for the structure of the mesophases.

    Organisation supramoléculaire de fullérodendrimères liquides-cristallins en phases colonnaires et application aux dyades fullerène-oligophénylènevinylène pour la conception de cellules photovoltaïques organiques
    (2007)

    Ce travail de thèse présente la synthèse et l’étude des propriétés liquides-cristallines thermotropes de différents fullérodendrimères et fulléro-codendrimères présentant des phases colonnaires. L’influence de différents facteurs sur l’organisation supramoléculaire est étudiée et l’application de ces connaissances à la synthèse de dyades fullerène – oligophénylènevinylène liquides-cristallines est décrite dans le dernier chapitre de ce travail qui est divisé en quatre parties : Dans la première partie, des méthanofullerènes mixtes contenant un dendrimère poly(benzyléther) et un dendrimère poly(arylester) ont été synthétisés. Leurs propriétés liquides-cristallines, qui ont été étudiées par POM, DSC et XRD, ont été comparées à celles de fulléropyrrolidines mixtes contenant les deux mêmes dendrimères. Dans les deux familles, les fullérodendrimères présentent des phases colonnaires lorsque la génération du dendrimère poly(benzyléther) est supérieure à celle du dendrimère poly(arylester); par contre, des phases smectiques sont obtenues lorsque la génération du dendrimère poly(benzyléther) est égale à celle du dendrimère poly(arylester). Si les homologues dans ces deux familles présentent le même type de phase (colonnaire ou lamellaire), le nombre et la symétrie des phases obtenues et/ou les paramètres de maille sont différents. Dans la deuxième partie, deux familles de fulléro-codendrimères mixtes contenant un dendrimères poly(benzyléther) et un dendrimère poly(arylester) ont été synthétisées. Dans le but d’observer un polymorphisme lamellaire et colonnaire, le dendrimère poly(arylester) est fonctionnalisé par des unités cyanobiphényles et le rapport entre le nombre de chaînes aliphatiques et le nombre d’unités cyanobiphényles est égal à 2. L’un des composés synthétisés présente effectivement le polymorphisme espéré. En plus d’une phase smectique A à basse température et d’une phase colonnaire rectangulaire à haute température, ce composé passe par un système intermédiaire qui est soit un mélange de phases (Colr + SA), soit une phase smectique segmentée, pour laquelle un modèle d’organisation supramoléculaire a été proposé sur la base des résultats obtenus par DSC et par XRD. Un autre composé ne présente que ce système intermédiaire. Dans la deuxième famille, le dendrimère poly(arylester) porte des chaînes alkyles à la place des unités cyanobiphényles. Ces composés, qui ne présentent aucune mésophase, ont permis de confirmer l’importance des unités cyanobiphényles dans la formation des phases colonnaires des fulléropyrrolidines et des méthanofullerènes présentés dans la première partie de cette thèse, confirmant ainsi les modèles d’organisation proposés au sein des phases colonnaires. Dans la troisième partie, l’influence de différents espaceurs sur l’organisation de fulléropyrrolidines ne portant qu’un dendrimère poly(benzyléther) a été étudiée et il a été possible de démontrer que la flexibilité de cet espaceur est primordiale pour la formation d’une mésophase. La génération du dendrimère influence la symétrie de la phase colonnaire formée (G2 : rectangulaire c2mm; G3 : hexagonale p6mm). Des composés chiraux ont également été synthétisés (G2 : non mésomorphe; G3 : hexagonale p6mm) et les études sur une éventuelle chiralité macromoléculaire sont en cours. Dans la dernière partie, des dyades fullerène – OPV contenant un dendrimère poly(benzyléther) ont été synthétisées. Les dyades contenant une unité OPV indépendante du dendrimère n’ont pas présenté de mésophases. Par contre, lorsque l’unité OPV est intégrée au dendrimère, la dyade présente une mésophase non-identifiée. Des études de transferts d’électrons doivent permettre de déterminer le potentiel d’une telle dyade dans la conception de cellules PV organiques et l’influence de l’organisation des molécules sur le transfert des charges.

    The title compds. were synthesized by applying the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddn. reaction of aldehyde-based poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers and sarcosine (N-methylglycine) to [60]fullerene (C60). The dendritic building blocks used to functionalize C60 displayed cubic and hexagonal columnar phases. The fullerene derivs. showed rectangular columnar phases of c 2. mm symmetry. [on SciFinder(R)]

    A second-generation cyanobiphenyl-based dendrimer was used as a liquid-crystalline promoter to synthesize mesomorphic bisadducts of [60]fullerene. Liquid-crystalline trans-2, trans-3, and equatorial bisadducts were obtained by condensation of the liquid-crystalline promoter, which carries a carboxylic acid function, with the corresponding bisaminofullerene derivatives. A monoadduct of fullerene was also prepared for comparative purposes. All the compounds gave rise to smectic A phases. An additional mesophase, which could not be identified, was observed for the trans-2 derivative. The supramolecular organization of the monoadduct derivative is governed by steric constraints. Indeed, for efficient space filling, adequacy between the cross-sectional areas of fullerene (∼100 Å2) and of the mesogenic groups (∼22−25 Å2 per mesogenic group) is required. As a consequence, the monoadduct forms a bilayered smectic A phase. The supramolecular organization of the bisadducts is essentially governed by the nature and structure of the mesogenic groups and dendritic core. Therefore, the bisadducts form monolayered smectic A phases. The title compounds are promising supramolecular materials as they combine the self-organizing behavior of liquid crystals with the properties of fullerene.

    [60]Fullerene-containing liquid-crystalline dendrimers were synthesized from the first to the fourth generation by applying the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction from a mesomorphic dendritic-type aldehyde derivative, sarcosine (N-methylglycine) or glycine and C60. The cyanobiphenyl unit was used as a liquid-crystalline promoter. With the exception of the first-generation fullerene dendrimer, which was found to be nonmesomorphic, all fullerene-based dendrimers gave rise to a smectic A phase. The liquid-crystalline fullerenes led to two different supramolecular organizations within the smectic layers:  for the second-generation dendrimers, the molecules are oriented in a head-to-tail fashion within the layers; for each molecule the cyanobiphenyl units point in the same direction. For the dendrimers of third and fourth generations, the dendritic core extends laterally, parallel to the layer planes; the mesogenic units are oriented above and below the dendritic core. For the aldehyde precursors, only one organization inside the layers was obtained, similar to the one observed for the third and fourth fullerene-based dendrimers. Cyclic voltametry investigations displayed several one-electron and multielectron reduction processes; no significant interaction in the ground state between the fullerene and the dendrimer was noticed. The title compounds showed the typical electrochemical stability of fulleropyrrolidines.
