Self-organization of supramolecular complex composed of rigid dendritic porphyrin and fullerene.
A second-generation 1,3,5-phenylene-based dendritic porphyrin decorated with flexible alkyl chains exhibited a liquid crystallinity, and the inclusion of fullerene within the nanospace of the dendritic porphyrin strongly affected the mesophase structure in the thermotropic liquid-crystalline phase.
