We have developed a novel synthetic method that enables the preparation of functional derivatives of heptiptycene, i.e., cavitands with two juxtaposed cavities. The homocoupling of bicyclic dibromoalkenes is promoted by Pd(OAc)2 (10%) in dioxane (100 °C) to give cyclotrimers in 27-77% yield under optimized reaction conditions (Ph3P, K2CO3, n-Bu4NBr, N2, 4 Å MS). These dual-cavity baskets show a strong π → π* absorption at 241 nm (ε = 939,000 M(-1) cm(-1)), along with a subsequent fluorescence emission at 305 nm.

“…The term “dendrimer” is a combination of two Greek words dendron means “tree” and meros means “part”, which exactly reflects their branched architecture [48]. There has been an exponential increase in activity in the field of dendrimers for their rapid and efficient synthesis; and their applications in numerous areas [70] including catalysis [71], electronics [72], sensing [73,74], nanoengineering [75], diagnostics [76], and drug [77] and gene delivery [78]. Some of the most explored dendrimers for drug delivery are poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) [79,80,81,82,83,84], poly(propylene imine) (PPI) [85,86,87,88], poly( l -lysine) (PLL) [89,90,91,92], and triazene [93,94,95] based dendrimers.…”

To address current complex health problems, there has been an increasing demand for smart nanocarriers that could perform multiple complimentary biological tasks with high efficacy. This has provoked the design of tailor made nanocarriers, and the scientific community has made tremendous effort in meeting daunting challenges associated with synthetically articulating multiple functions into a single scaffold. Branched and hyper-branched macromolecular architectures have offered opportunities in enabling carriers with capabilities including location, delivery, imaging etc. Development of simple and versatile synthetic methodologies for these nanomaterials has been the key in diversifying macromolecule based medical therapy and treatment. This review highlights the advancement from conventional "only one function" to multifunctional nanomedicine. It is achieved by synthetic elaboration of multivalent platforms in miktoarm polymers and dendrimers by physical encapsulation, covalent linking and combinations thereof.
