Synthesis, structure and molecular modelling of anionic carbosilane dendrimers†
Abstract
Anionic carbosilane dendrimers of generations 1–3 have been synthesized containing carboxylate GnX(C2H4CO2Na)m and sulfonate GnX(C2H4SO3Na)m peripheral groups and derived from two different cores, 1,3,5-(HO)3C6H3 (X = O3) and Si(C3H5)4 (X = Si). The peripheral anionic groups make these dendrimers
