The allure of cascade molecules has long since reached main group chemistry. Dendrimers constructed from silicon‐ and phosphorus‐based building blocks (see schematic representation on the right) not only are among the largest cascade molecules ever synthesized, but also offer unique possibilities for binding functional groups at the surface or in the interior. This property may open new perspectives for the design of catalysts and synthetic reagents.
