A polycationic dendrimer as noncovalent support for anionic organometallic complexes.
Polycationic dendrimer 1 forms a well-defined, stoichiometric assembly with eight anionic metal complexes; this assembly is successfully applied as a Lewis acidic catalyst which performs comparably to the unsupported metal complex.
