Dendrimers up to three generations, possessing internal PEG units within the branching framework, were synthesized by a convergent approach via the reaction of amine-based dendrons 6, 9, and 11 with 6, 6-bis (4-chlorocarbonyl-2-oxabutyl)-4, 8-dioxaundecane-1, 11- dicarbonyl chloride. These new constructs were fully characterized, shown to exhibit good solubilities in organic as well as aqueous solvents, and demonstrated to solubilize lithium ...
