Abstract

Divergent synthesis methods have been used to prepare 2nd generation dendrimers based on polyhedral silsesquioxane cores with up to 72 terminal groups at their surface. Repetitive hydrosilation/allylation of vinyl-functionalised polyhedral silsesquioxanes produce chlorosilyl-and allyl-derivatised dendrimers respectively. Hydroboration/oxidation of the allyl- functionalised dendrimers produces alcohol (hydroxy) terminated dendrimers. Energy ...
