The initial focus in dendrimer research was largely on their synthesis, but recently more importance has been given towards their functional aspects [23]. The successful blending of dendrimer chemistry with several contemporary themes such as host-guest chemistry [24], metallo-organic chemistry [25], luminescent materials [26], catalysis [20a], medicinal chemistry [18d] and polymers [27] has contributed enormously over the years to a rich chemistry with potential applications. As a detailed survey of this area is beyond the scope of this chapter, we will restrict ourselves to two topics involving these molecules (a) dendritic self-assembly [28] and (b) metallodendrimers [25,26].
