Liquid-crystalline fullerene-gold nanoparticles

Abstract

We report the design, synthesis and properties of the title compounds which were prepared via click chemistry from azide-containing gold nanoparticles and mesomorphic alkyne-functionalized [60]fullerene ligands. The material displays the smectic A phase and shows a good thermal stability.
