Abstract
Mesomorphic fullerene derivs. of dendritic structure were studied in solns. by the method of electrooptical Kerr effect, hydrodynamic methods (translation diffusion and viscometry) and by the method of dielec. polarization of the solns. The influence of covalently bonded fullerene C60 on the polarity, electrooptical and hydrodynamic properties of fullerene contg. samples was obsd. in comparison with fullerene free analogs. The change of mol. form asymmetry for fullerene-contg. dendritic compds. was detected. Properties of the dendritic mols. depend on fullerene position in their structure and hemi-dendrimers are more sensitive to the incorporation of fullerene than dendrimers. [on SciFinder(R)]
