This review explores dendrimer-based catalysis with active sites at the core or interior voids. It highlights key achievements and catalytic activities of these unique dendritic structures.

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Dendrimers offer unique architectures for hosting catalytic sites.
  • Peripherally functionalized dendrimers in catalysis are well-documented.
  • This review focuses on a less-explored area: core and interior dendrimer catalysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review significant achievements in dendrimer-based catalysis.
  • To focus on catalytic sites located at the core or within interior voids of dendrimers.
  • To highlight key features of positive and/or negative catalytic activity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of dendrimer-based catalysis.
  • Focus on studies with catalytic sites at the dendrimer core or interior.
