By taking advantage of “click” chemistry's chemoselective nature, a new platform of bifunctional AB 2 C dendrimers, having acetylene/azide groups anchored within the interior and hydroxy groups on the periphery, has been realized. In their Communication on page 2126 ff. M. Malkoch and co‐workers reveal a simple synthetic route for two sets of frameworks. To illustrate the utility of AB 2 C dendrimers they were used in a one‐pot postfunctionalization protocol, in the development of dendritic nanoparticles, and in the formation of hydrogels.
