Benzene centers, starburst glass molecule

A very productive strategy for the synthesis of glass-forming materials is the use of highly branched rigid structures. As a suitable center for starburst molecules with a threefold symmetry, triarylamine or benzene are used most frequently. Due to the large number of starburst molecules described in the literature, we divide this class into two subgroups, compounds based on the triarylamine and the benzene centers.
