Abstract

The synthesis of a novel third generation poly (propylene imine) dendron (PPI dendron) is described herein. The dendritic focal point was attached to a tetraethylene glycol spacer that was terminated with a Tmob-protected thiol in order to both avoid any side-reaction during functionalization of dendritic branches as well as enable convenient integration of the dendron into diverse complex systems. The protonation of the final PPI dendron at pH 4–5 ...
