The [60]fullerene (C60) effects on behavior of hybrid liquid-crystalline malonate-based dendrimers and hemidendrimers, where C 60 is attached directly to the start center, are investigated in dilute solutions using hydrodynamic methods. Differences were observed in diffusion-viscosity properties of hemidendrimers with and without C 60. Nonmolecular dispersity of the dendrimer solutions was found. It was established that the C60 effects on the hydrodynamic properties of dendrimers is weaker than the influence of the solvent. Additionally, nonmolecularity of the solutions is primarily caused by intramolecular and intermolecular interactions of the mesogenic groups. The origins of these differences are discussed in comparison with the effects of the solvent thermodynamic quality.
