Dendrimers 1 comprise a family of synthetic macromolecules that are considered to be prime nanometer-scale building blocks for materials that may serve as chemical sensors, 2 molecular recognition devices, 3 chemical delivery systems, 4 separations devices, 5 etc. Recently, the alteration of the structure of novel dendritic architectures through control of covalent and noncovalent interactions and conditions has attracted much attention. Examples include dendritic ...
