Multiplurifunctionalized Phosphorus Dendrimers: Selective Functionalization of P(X)CL₂ Terminal Groups

Abstract

Dendrimers are hyperbranched macromolecules constituted of repetitive branched units. They are synthesized step-by-step, a method which ensures a perfectly defined structure. This mini-review reports examples of rare "multiplurifunctionalized" dendrimers that have several types of functional groups precisely located on each terminal branching point. They are obtained thanks to the specificity of the reactivity of each Cl of P(X)Cl 2 (X = generally S, but also O) terminal groups on the surface of poly(phosphorhydrazone) dendrimers.

Cu0and Pd0loaded Organo-Bentonites as Sponge-like Matrices for Hydrogen Reversible Capture at Ambient Conditions

“…[49] These results are of great importance, and allow envisaging promising prospects for hydrogen storage without energy and safety constraints on hybrid matrices containing dendrimers with highly efficient metal sequestrating and stabilizing abilities. [50, 51] The wide variety of dendrimers particularly those constructed from readily available and low cost sugars [27, 54] and sulfur predominantly appear as promising candidates for such a purpose.…”
