“…Furthermore, this dendrimer has a capability for the precise accumulation for various metal ions [ 12 ] and organic molecules [ 13 , 14 ] in the interior. Therefore, it is a suitable molecule with many potential post-functionalization such as templated cluster synthesis [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], molecular shape recognition [ 11 ], anisotropic charge transfer [ 10 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], and further extension of the structural dimensions [ 23 , 24 ]. The dendrimer 1 ( Figure 1 ) was synthesized according to a literature method [ 9 ] and deposited on the atomically flat surfaces of substrates including mica, HOPG (highly ordered pyrolytic graphite), and Au(111).…”
