Comparison of the Organization of Linear & Hyperbranched Structures Using Metal-Cluster Core Dendritic and Star Architectures

Abstract

We report continuing results pertaining to the above referenced grant, DAAG55-98-1-0511. As detailed herein, we have successfully synthesized a number of metal cluster core-based star architectures. These architectures are designed so that their encapsulating properties can be directly compared with those of dendrimers prepared previously in our research group. We are now embarking on the measurement of the electrochemical proper- ties of these star molecules and will then publish these results as a direct comparison of star and hyperbranched architectures as regards their encapsulating properties. Encapsulation is a critical behavior in the design of nanoscale electronic elements, nanoscale sensors, etc.
