Description The series Advances in Dendritic Macromolecules aims to cover the synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of dendritic or cascade
super-molecules as well as their less perfect hyperbranched cousins.
In Volume 3, Chapter 1 describes the synthesis and characterization
of dendrimers and hyperbranched polyesters, both based on 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid, as the AB2-monomer. Chapter
2, discusses the advantages and drawbacks of dendritic molecular architectures necessary to create polymeric organic magnetic materials.
In Chapter 3, Balzani and colleagues delineate their contributions to the field of polynuclear transition metal complexes in the design
and construction of dendritic nanostructures; these luminesence and redox-active complexes suggest their role as photochemical molecular
devices operating by photoinduced energy and electron transfer processes. Chapter 4, reviews the overall progress on redox-active dendrimers,
especially as redox catalysts, organic conductors, modified electrodes, and models for electron transfer proteins. Chapter 5, summarizes
the pioneering research in organometallic dendritic macromolecules and then delineates the redox properties of a series of silicon-based
ferrocenyl-containing dendrimers.
Audience
For polymer students and students in academia and industry.
