Polypropylene amines, poly(amidoamines) (PAMAM) and silicon dendrimers set records for the number of generations, whereas the polyacetylene dendrimer prepared by Moore et al. [6] with the formula C1398H1278 and a mass of 18079.53 holds the heavyweight championship title of pure hydrocarbons. Mullen et al. have recently published a series of aromatic hydrocarbon dendrimers consisting of phenylene-bridged benzene rings. [7] Interestingly, these species form two-dimensional planes rather than three-dimensionally extended structures.
