A Dendritic Structure Containing a Designed Cleft which Controls Ligand Coordination Behavior in an Analogous Way to Proteins

Incorporation of a tripodal N3‐donor ligand at the base of a designed molecular cleft generated inside a high molecular weight dendritic structure (see picture) allows the coordination behavior of the ligand to be controlled. This approach, using designed dendrimer clefts, has the potential to be ex...

Summary:Incorporation of a tripodal N3‐donor ligand at the base of a designed molecular cleft generated inside a high molecular weight dendritic structure (see picture) allows the coordination behavior of the ligand to be controlled. This approach, using designed dendrimer clefts, has the potential to be extended to a range of different coordination environments.
