Synthesis and Properties of Homologous Series of Polyallylcarbosilane Dendrimers with Dense Macromolecular Structure

Abstract
Synthesis of the six generations of polyallylcarbosilane dendrimers with tetrafunctional branching center and tetrafunctional base reagent is reported. Obtained dendrimers are compared to carbosilane dendrimers with less dense molecular structure synthesized before. Densification of the dendrimer structure alters some basic dendrimer properties as well as their dependence on generation.
