title: The first linear multiphosphazene having five different types of side groups and its use as the core of a dendrimeric species.
abstract: The step-by-step synthesis of the first oligophosphazenes having more than two types of side functions is described. These multifunctionalized oligophosphazenes possess up to four phosphazene linkages and up to four types of functional side groups. These compounds may serve as models for a better understanding of electronic delocalization phenomena in linear inorganic chains, and constitute novel cores for the synthesis of new dendrimeric species possessing several types of functions as end groups, at the level of the core, and within the branches.
