Nanoparticles serving as novel, multifunctional and multi-addressable additives to modify the properties of liquid crystalline matrices are developed by combining cobalt ferrite nanocrystals with organic ligands featuring a robust photosensitive unit and a source of chirality from the natural pool. These nanoparticles provide a stable nanocomposite when dispersed in achiral liquid crystals giving rise to chiral supramolecular structures that can respond to UV-light illumination. Due to a very strong effect of coating, the formed nanocomposite possesses strong magnetic response. For the first time, we report on a nanocomposite that shows three additional functionalities upon the introduction of a single dopant.
