Summary: A scaling exponent to describe the dependence of the hydrodynamic radius as a characteristic length of the molecule on the molecular weight, has been determined for low generation dendrimers with a thiacalixarene core and lysine dendrons. The hydrodynamic radius has been calculated from the diffusion coefficient measured by pulsed‐field‐gradient NMR spectroscopy. Scaling exponents of 2.0 for the lysine monodendron, 2.3 for a dendrimer with a bifunctional core, and 3.9 for a dendrimer with a tetrafunctional core have been determined. For a given structure of the dendrons, the scaling exponent reflects the functionality of the core of the dendrimers.Hydrodynamic radius of lysine dendrons as a function of molar mass.
