title: Pulse radiolysis studies of dendritic macromolecules with biphenyl peripheral groups and a ruthenium tris-bipyridine core.
abstract: Electron-transfer reactions in Fréchet-type dendrimers with biphenyl peripheral groups and a ruthenium core were investigated by pulse radiolysis techniques. Fast electron-transfer rates found in the two ruthenium dendrimers suggest a very efficient electronic coupling between the peripheral donor groups and the core acceptor.
