title: A divergent approach to the precise synthesis of giant organometallic dendrimers using platinum-acetylides as building blocks.
abstract: Giant platinum-acetylides dendrimers were precisely synthesized by a divergent method; the sixth generation dendrimer, the diameter of which is larger than 10 nm, has 189 Pt atoms per molecule, and its molecular weight is as high as 139750.
