Deconstruction as a Strategy for the Design of Libraries of Self‐Assembling Dendrons

Bringing down the dendron : The deconstruction of self‐assembling dendrons represents a new strategy for the rational design of libraries of self‐assembling dendrons with unprecedented primary structure (see picture). In this strategy, molecular targets are designed by systematically removing branches from a parent dendron. This approach provides a diversity of molecular topologies unencountered in the generational synthesis of dendrons.
