G. Friedmann et al., DENDRIMERS WITH AROMATIC SURFACE-STRUCTUR E - SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND PROPERTIES DETERMINATION OF THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE, European Polymer Journal, 33(4), 1997, pp. 419-426
Bulky arylalcoylsilane dendritic molecules, with, respectively 12 and
36 phenyl rings at the periphery, have been synthesized by means of a
divergent synthetic method. The first generation has a crystalline str
ucture as demonstrated by the X-ray structure analysis. The H-1 NMR ca
racterization shows the retention of solvent with the second generatio
n. They may be used as cocatalyst in polycondensation reactions. (C) 1
