Possible applications of dendrimers with peripheral chiral units

2 Possible applications of dendrimers with peripheral chiral units 

Dendrimers with readily accessible chiral end groups have been synthesised largely for use in asymmetric catalysis or for molecular recognition processes. 

In the hope of obtaining biocompatible dendrimers suitable for medical use in the prevention of infection, PAMAM dendrimers [33], polyether amide den- 

General conclusions concerning circular dichroism and chirality of dendri-mers are presented in Section 7.9. 

That such conformational and configurational effects do actually occur in the transmission of chirality in molecules is demonstrated by corresponding findings and conceptual models from the field of polymer chemistry The sergeant-and-soldier principle and the majority rules model [38].
