title: Dendronized diruthenium compounds via the copper(I)-catalyzed click reaction.
abstract: Novel Ru2-containing dendritic compounds were prepared from the CuI-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between Ru2 compounds containing one or two ethynes, Ru2(D(3,5-Cl2Ph)F)4-n(DMBA-4-C2H)n with n=1 and 2, and azidopoly(benzyl ether) dendrons. These new compounds were also characterized with X-ray diffraction and voltammetric techniques.
