Click Co sandwich-terminated dendrimers as polyhydride reservoirs and micellar templates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jun 6;53(46):6267-6270. doi: 10.1039/c7cc03311g.

Abstract

Neutral click metallodendrimers with [CoI4-cyclopentadiene)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)] termini are synthesized by reduction of dendrimers with 9, 27 or 81 cobalticenium termini and serve as polyhydride reservoirs and reductants; for instance, they reduce proton sources to H2 and AuIII to micellized capsules of gold nanoparticles.
