The synthesis of styrene monomers 5(G-I ,2,3) with Frichet-type dendrons of the first. second and third generation, and their radically initiated polymerization to result in high molecular weight dendrimers 6(G-I .2,3) are reported. First light-scattering investigations using 6(G-2) show that this polymer is best described as a Gaussian chain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
