Properties and Bioapplications of Amphiphilic Janus Dendrimers: A Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Amphiphilic Janus dendrimers are arrangements containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic units, capable of forming ordered aggregates by intermolecular noncovalent interactions between the dendrimer units. Compared to conventional dendrimers, these molecular self-assemblies possess particular and effective attributes i.e., the presence of different terminal groups, essential to design new elaborated materials. The present review will focus on the pharmaceutical and biomedical application of amphiphilic Janus dendrimers. Important information for the development of novel optimized pharmaceutical formulations, such as structural classification, synthetic pathways, properties and applications, will offer the complete characterization of this type of Janus dendrimers. This work will constitute an up-to-date background for dendrimer specialists involved in designing amphiphilic Janus dendrimer-based nanomaterials for future innovations in this promising field.

“…The fundamental surface chemistry of relatively simple hydrocarbons is considered as one of the sources from which the fields of nanoscience and technology emerged. The seminal works about the self-assembly and development of the monolayers of Sagiv, Nuzzo, Allara, Whitesides, and many others form the basis of many functional interfaces and materials. − Increasingly, complex and functional organic molecules have been used by many others to introduce surface-bound molecular machinery, optical properties, and binding sites for biomolecules, for example. − The binding of molecules from the gas phase or solution onto a solid support is a frequently used approach to form nanostructures and thin films. − There is an excellent compatibility of many organic functional groups with diverse substrate surfaces (e.g., alkyl thiols and silanes with metallic and hydrophilic surfaces, respectively). , Most thin films consist of only one molecular component. Despite many studies, control over the formation of multicomponent materials remains challenging.…”

Compositionally Controlled Electron Transfer in Metallo-Organics

We demonstrate here the assembly of a nanolayer of electrochromic iron complexes on the top of composite layers of cobalt and ruthenium complexes. Depending on the ratio of the latter two complexes, we can tailor materials that show different electron transport pathways, redox activities, and color transitions. No redox activity of the top layer, consisting of iron complexes, is observable when the relative amount of the ruthenium complexes is low in the underlying composite layer because of the insulating properties of the isostructural cobalt complexes. Increasing the amount of ruthenium complexes opens an electron transport channel, resulting in charge storage in both the cobalt and iron complexes. The trapped charges can be chemically released by redox-active ferrocyanide complexes at the film–water interface.

We demonstrate here the assembly of a nanolayer of electrochromic iron complexes on top of composite layers of cobalt and ruthenium complexes. Depending on the ratio of the latter two complexes, we can tailor materials that show different elec-tron transport pathways, redox-activities, and color transitions. No redox activity of the top layer, consisting of iron com-plexes, is observable when the relative amount of the ruthenium complexes is low in the underlying composite layer because of the insulating properties of the isostructural cobalt complexes. Increasing the amount of ruthenium complexes opens an electron transport channel, resulting in charge storage both in the cobalt and iron complexes. The trapped charges can be chemically released by redox-active ferrocyanide complexes at the film-water interface, demonstrating an electrochemical-chemical electron transfer process.
