PPI dendrimers and mesogenic (S)-4-citronellyloxybenzoic (S-CBA) acid were connected.
Ionic interaction of dendrimers exhibited smectic A phase with wide temp. range.
Covalent coupling of PPI with S-CBA didn't exhibit any mesopmorphism.
Ionic system was considerably stable until 170 °C, above isotropic point.
Decomposition rate was independent of dendrimer generations.
