“…Depending on the width of the aliphatic (peripheral) end and the apex (core), the monodendrons might be described as tapers, half-disks, disks, pyramids, cones, half-spheres, or spheres, resulting in columnar or cubic macroscopic lattices. 2 Less is known about the behavior of dendrimers at solid 2d,e,3 or liquid [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] interfaces. The general principles determining molecular conformation at the air-water interface are still unclear.…”

We have used X-ray reflectivity and Π-area isotherms to study Langmuir films of a series of second- and third-generation monodendrons with hydrophobic C12H25 alkyl tails at the periphery and hydrophilic COOHCO2CH3 or crown ether groups in the core. Both the limiting molecular areas and the layer thicknesss are consistent with a model in which the chains are directed nearly perpendicularly away from the water surface.

“…However, we found that the “covalent organization” capacity of our amino acid based dendrimers3 e.g. A (Figure 1) is fairly limited and Langmuir monolayer studies showed that the branches of these dendrimers tend to spread out 4…”

The convergent synthesis of novel dendrimeric systems containing NLO-ligands is described. The poor solubility properties of dendrimers of type A containing NLO-ligands enticed us into developing novel dendrimers of type B leading to the convergent synthesis of third generation NLO-containing dendrimer 15 containing branches of unequal length. Furthermore, a strategy was developed for connection of dendrons leading to dendrimer-to-dendrimer systems of type

“…These peptide-shelled dendrimers have shown interesting properties such as enhancement in helicity of the peptide segment and specific encapsulation of ␣-amino acids. Several research groups have reported the synthesis and the function of peptide-dendrimers [8][9][10][11]. These studies must be important especially in view of the artificial protein technology.…”
