Abstract

The design and construction of polyfunctionalized dendritic macromolecules based on a four- directional C-~ ore~-~ have afforded a microenvironment which affords entrance to the field of unimolecular micelles. 8 Work on related dendritic macromolecules has been reviewedg and recently reported. 1 Cascade molecules, particularly silvanols" and arboro1s, 12 possessing other orders of directionality, have unique molecular shapes and have been
