Abstract

In 1986 Menger1 published an excellent review of multiarmed organic molecules that included polyethers, poly-armed molecules possessing either ionic or neutrally terminated chains, and some conventionally prepared branched polymers. Over the years, interesting names have been applied to many of these molecules, such as tripod, supertripod, tetrapod, octopus, hexahost, polypod, hexapus and tentacle, in an attempt to describe these complex structures.
