The design of artificial catalysts able to compete with the catalytic proficiency of enzymes is
an intense subject of research. Non-covalent interactions are thought to be involved in …

In this section, we give examples of the use of dendritic initiators or catalysts for
polymerization reactions. These polymerization reactions involve the dendrimers …

What's new in dendrimer research? Just as these fascinating giant molecules are continuing
to ramify, new perspectives and challenges continue to emerge. This bestseller on dendritic …

This review presents an overview of 1→ 2 branched dendrimers and dendrons, created by a
divergent procedure, from their synthesis to modern day applications. The first members of …

This paper describes the synthesis of three neutral water soluble poly
(amidoamine)(PAMAM) dendrimer derivatives. The ability of the two larger dendrimers to …

Metallodendrimers are now a mature area of nanosciences with multiple potential
applications [GR Newkome, CN Moorefield, F. Vögtle, Dendrons and dendrimers, in …

This review gives an overview of the use of dendrimers and dendrons as organocatalysts, ie
as catalysts in the absence of any metal. A large variety of dendrimeric structures have …

The contribution of the dendritic structure in catalysis of ester hydrolysis was investigated
with a systematic peptide dendrimer series of increasing generation number (G1− G4) …

Nature uses the principles of encapsulation and supramolecular chemistry to bind and
orientate substrates within active catalytic sites. Over the years, synthetic chemistry has …

Since the early days of dendrimers, their role as synthetic macromolecular catalysts has
been of great interest. The attraction towards these materials is attributed in part to their …
