Dendrimers IV

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((TOPCURRCHEM,volume 217))

Abstract

This review will focus on recent progress in supramolecular dendrimer chemistry. We have chosen to present several representative examples that illustrate the diverse ways in which dendrimers can be used to create supramolecular systems. The early focus is on host-guest chemistry where molecular recognition may occur within the dendrimer interior or at its surface. Interior binding may be directed, for example, by a specific group at the dendrimer core, or it may be a nonspecific hydrophobic effect (e.g., dendrimer as unimolecular micelle). Molecular recognition at the “surface” is distinguished by the large number of end-groups and the potential for multivalent interactions.

The nanoscopic size and recognition abilities of dendrimers make them ideal building blocks for self-assembly and self-organization systems. The review will focus on ways in which dendrimers may be formed by self-assembly and ways in which preformed dendrimers may interact with one another. Two types of self-organizing systems will be illustrated: liquid crystalline dendrimers and dendrimers organized at interfaces.
