very similar temperatures. The structural difference between the three arise
from the incorporation of a
-conducting group (

), or a ferrocenyl group
(
56
) attached to the C
60
core unit. The three materials differ greatly in struc-
ture, however, the liquid crystal properties are almost invariant with structure.
These results indicate that the self-organizing properties of the three materials
are dominated by the mesogenic dendron which is attached to the C
60
unit, and
that the non-mesogenic parts of each material have little or no effect. These ac-
cumulative results demonstrate that the incorporation of mesogenic units into
a supermolecular structure can be utilized in the self-organization and self-
