The shape deduced from the analysis of the radius of gyration tensor also changes as the generation number increases, as shown in Table 1.3. The entries in this table were calculated from the results for the moments of inertia that were reported by Mansfield and Klushin J24 Even as soon as the second generation, these model dendrimers (1) are closer to being spherically symmetric than are any of the conformations listed in Table 1.2.
