Grafting of a ferrocene-containing liquid-crystalline malonate derivative to C 60 led to the mixed fullerene ± ferrocene material 1 which gave rise to a smectic A phase. Cholesterol was used as liquid-crystalline promoter. X-ray diffraction experiments and volumetric measurements indicated that 1 is
