Ionic core-shell dendrimers with an octacationic core as noncovalent supports for homogeneous catalysts

A description of the ionic core-shell dendrimers with an octacationic core applied as noncovalent supports for homogenous catalysts is presented. The investigation of the structural aspects and the nature of the metallodendritic assemblies reveal that the dendritic supports and arylpalladium complexes are strongly associated in solution to give unimolecular assemblies due to their nanoscopic size.
