Hydrophobic dendritic amide

The extraction of these oxoanions with urea-functionalized dendrimers follows the same behavior as that observed for hydrophobic dendritic amides discussed above. 

Kim and co-workers used peptide dendrons to form gel-phase assembled materials at relatively high concentrations (8 wt/vol %) [54], They employed both dendrons and symmetric dendrimers constituted from repeating amide units with peripheral hydrophobic chains (Fig. 15). They observed a negative dendritic effect on the thermal stability of the gel as determined from the gel-sol transition temperature (Tgei) measurements.
