title: Formation of CdS nanoparticle necklaces with functionalized dendronized polymers.
abstract: A one-dimensional assembly of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles was prepared by using functionalized polymers with pendant Fréchet-type dendritic wedges of different generation. The novel dendronized polymers acted as both nanoreactors for the formation of CdS nanoparticles and a template to arrange the nanoparticles into a necklace. The polymers of different dendron generation were applied to stabilize CdS particles and the effect of dendron size was observed. CdS nanoparticle necklaces were obtained successfully when polymers bearing second-generation dendrons were applied.
