Synthesis and Properties of Carborane-Functionalized Aliphatic Polyester Dendrimers
Abstract
The incorporation of multiple p-carborane cages within an aliphatic polyester dendrimer was accomplished through the preparation of a bifunctional carborane synthon. A p-carborane derivative having an acid and a protected alcohol functionality was found to efficiently couple to peripheral hydroxyl groups of low-generation dendrimers under standard esterification conditions. Deprotection of carborane hydroxyl groups allowed for further …
