Carbosilane and carbosiloxane dendrimers

Molecules. 2009 Sep 22;14(9):3719-30. doi: 10.3390/molecules14093719.

Abstract

This review focuses on novel carbosilane dendrimers containing branches with Si-C and Si-O-C bonds. Introduction of organic moieties into the dendrimers is performed by hydrosilation of carbon-carbon double/triple bonds. Versatile organic or organometallic moieties are introduced onto the peripheral regions of dendrimers by coupling and complexation reactions, which clearly demonstrates their potential for variation.
