Cover: The figure shows the molar‐mass dependence of the hydrodynamic radius for a series of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers investigated by diffusion NMR, sketched at the bottom. The scaling exponent describing the use of space in the dendrimers growth is derived and it is found that, for the dendrimers with a tetrafunctional core, it exceeds the dimension of the embedding space, thus implying that the growth of the molecule is limited. Further details can be found in the Full Paper by B. Fritzinger and U. Scheler * on page 1288.
