Self-assembled Inverse Dendrimer
Bent bridging ligands appending dendrons (G-1, G-2, and G-3) at their concaves are complexed with Pd(II) ions to self-assemble into M12L24 spherical shells confining inversely branched dendrimers. Their structures were fully characterized by NMR, CSI-TOF-MS, and AFM.
