“…For example, PCBM crystals grown from solution display very different structural arrangements, with symmetry ranging from triclinic to hexagonal depending on both the choice of solvent [71,72] and the growth rate of the crystals [73]. Fullerene derivatives with tail-like sideadducts can form bilayer lamellar structures similar to those observed in blockcopolymers [26,74].…”

Abstract:We review the fundamental properties and main applications of organic derivatives and complexes of fullerenes in the solid-state form. We address in particular the structural properties, in terms of crystal structure, polymorphism, orientational transitions and morphology, and the electronic structure and derived properties, such as chemical activity, electrical conduction mechanisms, optical properties, heat conduction and magnetism. The last two sections of the review focus on the solid-state optoelectronic and electrochemical applications of fullerene derivatives, which range from photovoltaic cells to field-effect transistors and photodetectors on one hand, to electron-beam resists, electrolytes and energy storage on the other.

“…It is due to these weak interac tions that it is possible for this class of amphiphiles to display polymor phism under various externally applied factors such as temperature, solvation effects and concentration, which is an extremely rare phe nomenon (see Fig. 5) [57,60]. The self assembly morphologies of alkyl fullerenes range from monolayers [61 • ], bilayer vesicles [59a,62], nanorods and wires [63], thin disks, fibrous, columnar liquid crystal [64], and room temperature liquids [65], to name only a few.…”

a b s t r a c t Keywords:Self-assembly Polyoxometalates Organic-inorganic hybrids Amphiphiles Janus particles Amphiphiles and surfactants are indispensable compounds in industry, scientific research and everyday life, such as emulsification agents, detergents, etc. The vast majority of currently used amiphiphiles are organic in nature, and are composed of two molecular parts joined together, one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic. The current article highlights some of the recent developments in the emerging field of hybrid amphiphiles, focusing on systems with at least one inorganic constituent. Different classes of amphiphiles can be defined, depending on if the inorganic entity is molecular or has particle character, and depending on the strength of interaction between the inorganic and organic phase. It is seen that in addition to typical amphiphilic properties, most importantly the formation of self assembled structures like micelles or lyotropic liquid crystals, the hybrid amphiphiles exhibit additional, functional features like special magnetic or catalytic properties. Ultimately, systemic features can be observed, leading to the emergence of new properties which none of the constituents of hybrid amphiphile could have on its own.

“…The absence of any visible signal corresponding to some correlation between the C 60 moieties within these layers embryos could be attributed to the continuity of the electronic density between the C 60 embedded by the polarizable parts of the mesogens, as proposed by the model of Figure 6.32 deduced from molecular dynamic simulation. With the view to exploit C 60 as a synthetic platform for the design of liquidcrystalline materials with unconventional shapes, the mesomorphic properties of fullerodendrimers based on the bisaddition pattern obtained through [1,3] dipolar cycloaddition were also investigated [60]. Liquid-crystalline trans-2, trans-3, and equatorial bisadducts were obtained by condensation of the liquid-crystalline promoter, which carries a carboxylic acid function, with the corresponding bisaminofullerene derivatives.…”

“…In the field of C 60 materials science, studies deal with the self-organization of molecules having original ordered structures [1][2][3][4] and mainly thermotropic or lyotropic liquid-crystalline mesophases, micelles, membranes, or mono-and multilayered films [5][6][7][8][9][10]. However, the development of functional devices very often requires dedicated engineering of the molecules, that is, functionalization of the molecules for controlling their self-organization.…”
