Cores for thought : Dendrimers based on an octahedral symmetry and with a central positively charged transition‐metal complex have been prepared up to the third generation (see schematic representation). The shape‐persistent dendrimers with a high density of aromatic rings are accessible by either a partly convergent synthesis or a divergent strategy in which the metal complex proved to be stable to high‐temperature Diels–Alder reactions.
