title: Encapsulation of neutral guests by tri(ethylene oxide)-pyrrole-terminated dendrimer hosts in water.
abstract: [reaction: see text] This work focuses on the synthesis and guest hosting capabilities of novel, water-soluble tri(ethylene oxide)-pyrrole-functionalized poly(propylene imine), PPI, dendrimers (DAB-TEOPy(n)). The high-generation DAB-TEOPy(n) (n = 32 and 64) possesses the ability to encapsulate hydrophobic guest molecules, such as Nile Red, in aqueous media.
