First-Generation Dendrimers Based on Thiacalix4arene Containing Hydroxyl Terminal Groups: Synthesis and Self-Assembly

摘要

irst-generation dendrimers containing thiacalix[4]arene in cone and 1,3-alternate conformations as a core and hydroxyl groups as terminal moieties have been synthesized. It has been shown that self-assembly of the dendrimers with the macrocyclic core in cone conformation and terminal amidoethanol groups in an aqueous solution leads to the formation of stable monodisperse supramolecular system consisting of the nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameter of 11.4 +/- 0.1 nm.
