Molecular Architecture via Coordination: Self-Assembly of Nanoscale Hexagonal Metallodendrimers with Designed Building Blocks

Abstract
The first self-assembly of nanoscale metallodendrimers that have a hexagonal cavity as a core via the directional-bonding approach is reported. All metallodendrimers were characterized by multinuclear NMR (1H and 31P), mass spectrometry (ESI-MS and ESI−FT-ICR), and elemental analysis.
