Herein, we report the synthesis of novel poly(amido amine) [PAMAM]-based dendrons with external amine and disulfide functional groups and an alkoxysilane moiety as the focal point. Four generations (G1-G4) of dendrons were obtained by combining Michael addition and amidation reactions using (3aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane as the starting core; disulfide bridges and amine groups were introduced in the last step by ester amidation with cystamine and ethylendiamine. The resulting dendrons were characterized by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Raman, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Zpotential techniques. The growth of the dendrons was monitored by analysing the X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) high resolution spectra of the Si 2p, N 1s, C 1s, O 1s and S 2p signals for each dendron generation. The results evidence that it is possible to record, with good confidence, the compositional and structural changes that occur during the preparative route by means of XPS technique.[a] Dr.
