Abstract:
Amphiphilic dendrimers with a custom-designed biaryl repeat unit have been synthesized. These dendrimers afford hydrophobic nanocontainers in polar solvents and hydrophilic nanocontainers in apolar solvents. These container properties were investigated using dye incorporation studies. The aggregation states of these dendrimers are also reported using DLS studies.
