Synthesis and crystal structures of extremely crowded oligophenylenes as model precursors to ‘cubic graphite’

By using drastic conditions for a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction, it was possible to synthesize an oligophenylene with an extremely dense packing of the benzene rings. Crystallographic data could be obtained and a projection of the structure on the plane of the central phenyl ring reveals that the molecule retained its theoretical threefold symmetry with only minor deviations. Due to its dense packing of interlocked benzene rings, this oligophenylene could be furthermore used as a suitable precursor for constructing a subunit of ‘cubic graphite’.     

Preparation and characterization of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers functionalized with a rhenium carbonyl complex and PEG as new IR probes for carbonyl metallo immunoassay

The first poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers tethered with both (η⁵-cyclopentadienyl) rhenium tricarbonyl (CpRe(CO)₃) units and polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains were prepared and characterized by combining NMR spectroscopy and Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy. Grafting of CpRe(CO)₃ units was achieved by reductive amination of formyl-CpRe(CO)₃ with the peripheral amines of generation 3 and 4 PAMAMs to yield dendrimers labeled with a variable number of CpRe(CO)₃ units, ranging from 8 to 14 for PAMAM-G3 and 17-30 for PAMAM-G4. PEG chains of different lengths were then attached to some of the remaining peripheral amines, and their respective ability to improve the solubility of the metallodendrimers in aqueous buffered media was evaluated. These metallodendrimers represent new infrared probes designed to be coupled to immunological reagents for the amplification of the IR signal in carbonyl metallo immunoassay (CMIA).

Acetylcholine Biosensor Based on Dendrimer Layers for Pesticides Detection

We tested a new design of an enzyme biosensor based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) immobilized on the supported monomolecular layer composed of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of the fourth generation (G4) mixed with 1‐hexadecanethiol (HDT). The resulting enzymatic activity, measured amperometrically, was substantially depressed in the presence of the organophosphate pesticide dimethyl‐2,2‐dichlorovinylphosphate (DDVP, Dichlorvos), carbamate pesticides carbofuran and carbamate drug eserine. The detection limits (1.3×10^?3 ppb for DDVP, 0.01 ppb for carbofuran and 0.03 for eserine) were considerably lower than so far reported for AChE based amperometric and potentiometric sensors. The relative simple protocol of biosensor preparation, high sensitivity and stability is very promising for determination of environmental pollutants in field conditions.

Reduced number of steps for the synthesis of dense and highly functionalized dendrimers

A series of densely functionalized dendrimers is synthesized using two branched monomers of type AB₂ and CD₂, in which the A function (NH₂) reacts with D (CHO) and the B function (Cl) reacts with C (OH). The reaction has been carried out up to the fourth generation possessing 96 end groups and has been obtained in only four steps.     

The first examples of anthracene capped chiral carbohydrate derived dendrimers: synthesis, fluorescence and chiroptical properties

The first examples of anthracene capped chiral dendrimers derived from a 1,3,5-trisubstituted aromatic core and carbohydrate units in the interior and periphery are described. Excimer formation was evident from the fluorescence spectrum, and both fluorescence and chiroptical properties indicated that the dendrimer does not undergo aggregation in the ground state.

Microcontact printed poly(amidoamine) dendrimer monolayers on silicon oxide surface

Patterning of silicon substrates with poly(amidoamine) generation 5 (PAMAM-G5) dendrimers using soft lithographic microcontact printing (μCP) is presented. μCP is shown to yield monolayers of dendrimers patterned with high level of definition over μm² to mm² areas. The patterns are stable over a period of weeks, which is attributed to the suppressed diffusion of partially charged G5 PAMAM on oxidized silicon. However, the dendrimers studied were shown to be relatively weakly bound to the substrate when subjected to lateral stresses. In aqueous conditions most of the dendrimers desorbed from the substrate.
