Monodendron, conical

Figure 8.9 Schematic representation of a conical monodendron self-assembled into a supramolecular spherical micellar dendrimer, and then into an fm3m cubic mesophase.

Figure 30 Quasi-equivalency of natural and synthetic supramolecular systems with cylindrical and spherical shapes (a) TMV, (b) icosahedral virus synthetic analog of (a) and (b) have been self-assembled from (c) tapered, and (d) conical monodendrons.

In several seminal papers, Percec et al. [157,159] reported the demonstration of abiotic quasi-equivalency by controlling the degree of polymerization of various polymerizable dendrons described earlier. For example, 12 second-generation conical monodendrons (DP = 12) produced a spherical dendrimer...
