| Abstract: | Nano-sized metallodendrimers in which the equivalent metal fragments are located at the periphery can be assembled covalently, by H-bonding (supramolecular) or onto dendronized nanoparticles. They can be used as electron-reservoirs, i.e. molecular batteries, redox catalysts and sensors for the recognition of biologically relevant anions. They can also be deposited on metal surfaces or electrodes, which optimizes their use as recoverable sensors. |
