Dendrimers, redox anion sensors

As cheaper and readily accessible alternatives to regular dendrimers, hyper-branched polymers are increasingly being used as catalyst platforms. Rainer Haag has been one of the leaders in this field. He and C. Hajji provide an overview of an area for which commercial applications are most likely. Finally, all of these catalysis-related topics are complemented by a review of metallo-dendritic exoreceptors for the redox recognition of oxo-anions and halides, written by D. Astruc. This field offers new perspectives both for catalytic transformation and the development of molecular sensors.

The derivatization of electrode surfaces by redox-active den-drimers [403-410] has also been explored to generate electrochemical sensors. So the ferrocenyl dendrimer 34 was reported to be sensitive to some anions such as H2POJ and HSOJ [409].
