Self-assembly and liquid-crystalline supramolecular organizations of semifluorinated block co-dendritic supermolecules†‡
Abstract
The synthesis and self-organizing behaviour into liquid-crystalline mesophases of two libraries of segmented block co-dendrimers are described. The overall structure of the dendritic supermolecules consists of two chemically incompatible molecular moieties, covalently connected by combinatory cross-coupling reactions. One block is composed of linear perfluorinated segments (2 generations, defining the two libraries), and the bulky dendritic compartment is formed by a lipophilic poly(benzyl
