[60]Fulleropyrrolidine-containing poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers 1-4 were synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of amino acid and aldehyde derivatives and [60]fullerene. Their dielectric and electrooptical (Kerr effect) solution properties were studied and compared with poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers, namely DAB-dendr-(alkyl chain)n and DAB-dendr-(CN)n, and with known symmetrical and non-symmetrical poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers carrying benzyl groups ([Gx]-[C]-[Gx]) or benzyl and cyanobenzyl groups (CNn-[Gx]-[C]-[Gx+1]), respectively. It was shown that 1-4 display similar polar and electrooptical characteristics independent of their dendrimer generation. This is in contrast to the reference dendrimers for which a strong dependence of total dipole moment on dendrimer generation was observed.
