, p. 540 - 547 (2008)
We report on the synthesis and detailed characterization of dendrimers that evolve symmetrically from a linear core of 2-butyne-1,4-diol with 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol based dendron arms. The divergent layer-by-layer build-up of the dumbbell-shaped dendrimers is based on simple acid-base hydrolytic chemistry of bis(dimethylamino)dimethylsilane with OH-terminated molecules. The self-assembly of these dendrimers in THF and water is significantly influenced by their generation number, the backbone structure, and the solvent.
