Preparation of Hydrophobically Modified Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimer-Encapsulated Gold Nanoparticles in Organic Solvents

Au(III)–PAMAM Interaction and Formation of Au–PAMAM Nanocomposites in Ethyl Acetate

“…However, chemical properties of the dendrimers are largely dependent on the nature of the terminal groups. In contrast to the OH-terminated PAMAM, in NH 2 -terminated PAMAM systems, Au nanoparticles are formed at the surface of the dendrimer, as demonstrated by Garcia et al (30) and our group (31)(32)(33)(34). For another system, the nanocomposites are observed at both the interior and exterior of the dendrimer molecules.…”

Synthesis of dendrimer-protected TiO2 nanoparticles and photodegradation of organic molecules in an aqueous nanoparticle suspension

“…The reason is that the dendrimer coating prevents the aggregation of TiO 2 nanoparticles. The formation of stable particles with similar small sizes has been reported for dendrimer-protected metal nanoparticles [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][37][38][39].…”

“Click” Dendrimers: Synthesis, Redox Sensing of Pd(OAc)2, and Remarkable Catalytic Hydrogenation Activity of Precise Pd Nanoparticles Stabilized by 1,2,3‐Triazole‐Containing Dendrimers

“…[13] Bimetallic DENs have also been tested in catalysis, in aqueous conditions, giving TOF values of 1300 mol H 2 A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (mol Pd) À1 h À1 both with Au/Pd-DENs for hydrogenation of allyl alcohol [17] and Pd/Rh-DENs for partial hydrogenation of 1,3-cyclooctadiene. [18] Esumi et al [19] modified PAMAM dendrimers with hydrophobic groups in order to study the formation of DENs in organic solvents (M = Au, Pt). Crooks et al used this synthetic approach to synthesize hydrophobic Pd-DENs, using modified-PPI dendrimers and tested them as catalysts in organic solvents.…”
