Molecular trees

Astruc and co-workers were the first to report divergent a[ roaches to the construction of organometallic molecular trees. A representative example of their exciting synthetic strategy for the synthesis of multimetallic arborols is illustrated in Scheme 8. The growing step is based on the fact that the n-com-plexation of aromatic compounds by electron-withdrawing cationic organo-transi-...

Dendrimers - Molecular Trees Dendrimers have systematic branching structures and they are built in a stepwise manner. Supermolecules from this family can be used to shield functional groups and to collect energy. 

Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes are formed spontaneously based on the restricted rules of carbon linkage. Therefore, their fundamental frameworks are not easily redesigned. Superstructures where we are free to design their sizes and shapes are sometimes more attractive prospects. In this section, the dendrimer family is introduced, as examples of artificially controllable superstructures. The word dendrimer contains the root dendr- , which means tree, an accurate reflection of the structures of dendrimers - molecular trees. The first dendrimer was proposed by Tomalia. After several groups had...

The [Red(p,3-Se)8]2+ clusters have apparently not been used in the synthesis of coordination polymers prepared by linking reactions analogous to that shown in Eq. 7.31, that is, by a linking reaction with a bidentate ligand.36 However, supramolecular arrays containing [Re6(jx3-Se)8]2+ clusters have been prepared by this route. Specifically, molecular squares, molecular stars, and molecular trees have been synthesized by using the rigid clusters to... 

Studies by Bolker and Brenner [29] were also based on statistical methods. According to the theoretical notions of the authors, MMD of native lignin depends on the composition of lignin monomeric precursors. To find this quantity, one has to list all probable ways by which the molecular tree with a specified number of junctions and monomer compositions may be drawn. MMD of isolated lignin, i.e., sol, is defined by decomposition velocity of simple ether bonds. This problem was solved by Bolker for a particular case of a crosslinked system in which only the scission of crosslinkages formed by benzylether bond takes place.

Nona analysis found very low support for main clades Ml and M2, and for other clades the support was generally lower than in MB. However most of the clades found in Nona analysis, even those with moderate support of 73% to 80%, are relatively stable and worth discussion. These clades with moderate support agree, as a rule, with the species morphology and molecular trees obtained by other methods and by other authors (using other genes and sometimes different, though related, species).
