My work took place in the material and solid chemistry team (CSM) from the institute of chemical Sciences of Rennes. It dealt with the synthesis and characterisation of new hybrid compounds : the clustomesogens, which generate luminescent properties assigned to the cluster and self-organisation from liquid-crystal material. The first chapter describes the state of art of the cluster chemistry and the basic knowledge to understand liquid-crystal and in particular clustomesogen material. The second chapter describes the synthesis, characterisation, luminescence and redox analysis and finally DFT calculations of a new inorganic cluster compound K4[Re6Sei8(N3)a6]·4H2O, precursor of molecular building block for the development of hybrid materials. The third chapter deals with the synthesis and study of three specific clustomesogens. Differing by the density in mesogenic units around the cluster core, the compound LC3, LC6 and LC9 have respectively an aliphatic chain of 3, 6 and 9 carbons between the cluster and the mesogenic cyanobiphenyl units. The fourth chapter presents a prospective of molecular dynamic simulations in order to understand the interaction between the clustomesogen supermolecular systems and anticipate the selfarrangement processes. This work is a first step for the future development of new and specific building blocks based on clustomesogens for applications in the field of display or lighting.
