Synthesis of a Dendrimer Reactor for Clusters with a Magic Number
A new type of phenylazomethine dendrimer (DPA) that has one more coordination site compared to the tetraphenylmethane core DPA was synthesized for the "magic number 13" metal cluster template that has cubic or hexagonal densely packed structures. The stepwise complexation property was revealed, and this property is expected to be the "magic number 13" metal cluster template.
