Abstract
The synthesis and liq.-cryst. properties of a 2nd generation ferrocene-contg. liq.-cryst. dendrimer, and the liq.-cryst. behavior of a 2nd generation mixed fullerene-ferrocene liq.-cryst. dendrimer are presented. The electrochem. properties were also studied. Both compds. gave rise to smectic A phases, which were identified by polarized optical microscopy and DSC. The liq.-cryst. behavior is detd. by the cholesterol units which were selected as mesomorphic promoters. Therefore, both compds. display similar liq.-cryst. properties. [on SciFinder(R)]
