title: Supramolecular H-bonded assemblies of redox-active metallodendrimers and positive and unusual dendritic effects on the recognition of H2PO4-.
abstract: The DSM polyamine dendrimers dend-DAB-(NH2)x of generations 1 (x = 4) to 4 (x = 32) form H-bonded dendritic assemblies with the phenol AB3 units p-HOC6H4C(CH2CHCH2)3 and p-HOC6H4C{(CH2)3SiCH2NHCOFc}3 (Fc = ferrocenyl), as shown by the shifts of the NH2 and OH signals giving a concentration-dependent common signal between 2.4 and 4.1 ppm in CDCl3. The supramolecular dendrimers efficiently recognize H2PO4- anions with positive and unusual dendritic effects upon electrochemical titration involving half-stoichiometry for G1, a sudden cyclovoltammetry wave change at the equivalent point, and a dramatic intensity decrease of the new wave.
