Dendrimers in Medicine and Biotechnology: New Molecular Tools looks at this exciting and rapidly growing area of science. Using an interdisciplinary approach with particular emphasis on biological applications, the book discusses the relationship between the dendrimer molecular motif and its biological properties.

We present 13C NMR lineshapes and spin lattice relaxation measurements of (TMTTF),Br and (TMTSF),PF6 in the spin density wave (SDW) state. We c o n f m that (TMTSF),PF6 has an incommensurate SDW and show that the phason mode is dominant in the relaxation. We prove that (TMTTF)2Br is commensurate and estimate the SDW amplitude. No phason contribution to the relaxation is observed in this compound. The implications for theory are discussed.
