Dendritic phosphorus macromolecule

IR and Raman spectra studied in conjunction with normal mode calculations provide additional proofs of the structme of phosphorus-containing den-drimers bearing terminal aldehyde groups, up to generation 11. The analysis of the band intensities in the vibrational spectra for generations 0-11 reveals a rather quick saturation and reflects the strong homogeneity of the dendritic macromolecules [37]. 

In conclusion, phosphorus-containing dendrimers and dendrons offer a large palette of properties usable in various areas of materials chemistry. Indeed, we have demonstrated that these dendritic macromolecules allow the tailored modification of various siufaces by covalent or ionic interactions. Furthermore, these dendritic macromolecules can be also incorporated within new materials, the dendrimer acting as a template for the formation of the material.
