Abstract
ABSTRACT A new Click procedure have been recently presented, in which a mixture of a female piece (star mesogen with shape-persistent conjugated arms and intrinsic free space) and a male building block (the same star mesogen sterically overcrowded with fullerenes attached via spacers to the arms) self-assemble in highly ordered filled liquid crystal structures. This self-assembly is based on the space-filling of the intrinsic free space and the nanosegregation of the fullerenes in helices. Here we highlight the synthesis of larger phthalocyanine star mesogens and fullerenes attached via long spacers and their mixtures as well as mixtures of the components with the stars of intermediate size and spacer length. While the system with long spacers do not show any alignment and π-stacking, the click procedure reappears successfully for the combination of a large female star and the intermediate male star.
