title: Design and synthesis of AB(3)-type (A = 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl unit; B = Glu diOME or Glu(7) octa OMe) peptide dendrimers: crystal structure of the first generation.
abstract: The first generation molecule of glutamic acid-based dendrons on a 1, 3,5-benzenetricarbonyl core leads to a cylindrical assembly as demonstrated by single crystal x-ray diffraction. The benzene pi-pi stack (A) is stabilized by vertical NH...O===C hydrogen bonding with each subunit participating in three intermolecular hydrogen bonds related by three-fold rotation symmetry.
