The series "Advances in Dendritic Macromolecules" aims to cover the
synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of dendritic or cascade
super-molecules as well as their less perfect hyperbranched
cousins.
This volume demonstrates the novel and varied growth in this topic
and certainly pushes the supramolecular concepts of Lehn into the
budding "supramacro-molecular" frontier.
In Chapter 1, Villavicenio and McGrath present their pivotal work
in the creation of azobenzene-containing dendrimers; their Chapter
describes the fundamental underpinnings to this interesting family.
As they state in their summation, "A continuing combination of
fundamental studies on the photomodulation of dendrimer properties
in azobenzene-containing dendrimers and the new developments in the
application of these materials to new and existing technologies is
anticipated." The field of linear - dendritic block copolymers is
summarized in
Chapter 2 from the eyes of Ivan Gitsov, who along with Professor
Frechet were the initiators of this variety of macromolecules.
In Chapter 3, Astruc and colleagues present the recent advances in
metallodendrimers, which incorporate ferrocenyl and/or other
transition metal sandwich components; their Chapter capitalizes on
the importance of supramolecular chemistry in these dendritic
constructs.
Finally, in Chapter 4, Wiener and Narayanan describe the practical
applications of dendrimers to the area of magnetic resonance
imaging contrast agents. Each of these unique chapters covers a
different perspective of this versatile group of
macromolecules.
