Liquid‐Crystalline Hybrid Materials Based on [60]Fullerene and Bent‐Core Structures

What a core-ker! By the appropriate combination of promesogenic bent-core structures and the C(60) unit, lamellar polar liquid-crystal phases were induced. The supramolecular organization of the functional fullerene-based assemblies, the temperature range of the soft phase, the stabilization of the mesophase-like order at room temperature, and the molecular switching under an electric field can be tuned, depending on the molecular structure.
