A divergent route for the synthesis of carbosilane wedges that contain either a bromine or amine as focal point has been developed. These new building blocks enable the construction of various core-functionalized carbosilane dendrimers. As a typical example carbosilane dendrimers up to the third generation containing a N, N′, N ″-1, 3, 5- benzenetricarboxamide core (G1–G3) have been synthesized. This new class of ...
