containing dendrimers. The m/z value of the dominant
signal corresponds to the calculated value of m/z for
G3 dendrimer (Fig. 3). No signals are observed be-
tween these peaks, which clearly confirms that frag-
mentation of phenylethynyl groups on the molecular
surface does not affect the analysis.
3.3. Hydrosilation (G1P)
A mixture of 10 g (23.12 mmol) of G0, 18 g (157.47
mmol) of HSiMeCl and 0.10 g of a common hydrosi-

3.1. General procedures
All reactions were carried out under a static pres-
sure of dried N2 atmosphere. Ether and THF were
dried by distillation from the blue solution of sodium-
benzophenone ketyl, while solvents, such as pentane,
toluene and benzene, were dried and distilled from Na
metal. A platinum catalyst (Pt on activated carbon,
