Two series of oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs) with different dendrimer side groups have been designed and synthesized. The molecules contain thiol groups at both ends to enable interconnection between nanoscale gapped metallic electrodes. The different dendrimer groups act as "shells", allowing tailoring to the nanoscopic environment surrounding the OPE "core". Meanwhile, the dendrimer shells also act as spacers for the precise control of the packing density and intermolecular interaction between the OPE cores.
Synthesis of cored dendrimers with internal cross-links

Hydrolytic removal of the core unit and cross-linking of their wedges enables dendrimers to be "cored" (see schematic representation). By internalizing the alkenes, the ring-closing metathesis reaction will "stitch" the dendritic wedges to gather intramolecularly, even at dendrimer concentrations of 10-3M. In contrast peripheral alkenes react intermolecularly at this concentration.
