Abstract

Giant pentane-soluble organo-silicon dendrimers have been synthesized using a triallylphenol brick according to a new divergent construction that uses a hydrosilylation−nucleophilic substitution sequence up to the ninth generation (G9). All the reactions were monitored by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR until G9, indicating that they were clean at the NMR accuracy until this last generation. MALDI TOF mass spectra were recorded for G1 to G4 and show the nature and amounts of defects that are intrinsic to the divergent construction. This technique and SEC (recorded up to G5) confirm the monodispersity (1.00 to 1.02) from G1 to G5. HRTEM and AFM images recorded for the high generations disclose the expected smooth dendrimer size progression and the globular shape. At G9, the theoretical number of termini (TNT) is 177 407 branches (abbreviation: G9-177 047). It is estimated that more than 105 terminal branches are actually present in the G9 dendrimer, far beyond the De Gennes “dense-packing” limit (6000 branches), and it is believed that the branch termini turn inside the dendrimer toward the core. This is corroborated by lower reaction rates and yields for the highest generation numbers presumably due to intradendritic reactions. It is probable that the dendritic construction is limited by the density of branches inside the dendrimer, i.e., far beyond the dense-packing limit.
