Dendritic high-spin macromolecules

CONSEQUENCES OF THE FRACTAL CHARACTER OF DENDRITIC HIGH-SPIN MACROMOLECULES ON THEIR PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES... 

The large overcrowding present in the dendrimer series 5 and 6, as well as in the dendritic polymer 4 obtained by Rajca et al., show that the use of dendritic architectures to produce super high-spin macromolecules has some practical weak-...

Although directed toward completely different applications, the synthetic scheme followed by Rajca et al. [27] to prepare their polyarylmethane dendrimers is in the same vein as that conceived by Miller and Neenan for then-polyphenylenes. As Rajca and his co-workers were interested in very high spin polyradicals, they considered that dendritic ordering of macromolecules should...
