Nano‐sized metallodendrimers in which the equivalent metal fragments are located at the periphery can be assembled covalently, by H‐bonding (supramolecular) or onto dendronized nanoparticles. They can be used as electron‐reservoirs, i.e. molecular batteries, redox catalysts and sensors for the recognition of biologically relevant anions. They can also be deposited on metal surfaces or electrodes, which optimizes their use as recoverable sensors.
