New cross-linked polysiloxanes prepared by UV-induced thiol-ene click-reaction

A convergent growth approach to electroactive ferrocene rich carbosilane- and siloxane-based dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers

“…Furthermore, dendrimer approaches imply other accelerated synthetic strategies that can minimize the number of reaction steps in dendrimer synthesis. 3 Remarkably, the click reaction concept has proved to be a powerful synthetic tool for the design of highly sophisticated dendritic architectures, for instance to prepare dendrons and dendrimers via thiol–ene chemistry, 4 to assemble dendrons in order to construct siloxane dendrimers 5 or to prepare liquid-crystalline Janus dendrimers, merging two types of dendromesogens. 6…”
