The incorporation of metal centers into the backbone of polymers has led to the
development of a broad range of organometallic and coordination compounds featuring …

Great attention is currently paid to the synthesis of polynuclear transition metal complexes
and the study of their photochemical, photophysical, and electrochemical properties. This …

1. Introduction A photon is at the same time a quantum of energy and a bit ofinformation. The
interaction of light with “matter” can therefore be used for energy or information purposes …

Ruthenium compounds, particularly Ru (II) polypyridine complexes, are the class of
transition metal complexes which has been most deeply investigated from a photochemical …

Dendrimers, also known as arborols, or cascade, cauliflower, or starburst polymers are
attracting increasing attention because of their unique structures and properties. 1r6 These …

Over the past decade, a number of excellent reviews on hyperbranched polymers and
dendrimers have been published covering the topics from details to highlights and …

PAMAM Starburst™ dendrimers are spherical macromolecules composed of repeating
polyamidoamino units. They can be produced in successive “generations,” each with a …

The conventional fashion by which compounds are synthesized in the laboratory and, to a
large extent, in vivo relies upon the stepwise formation of covalent bonds. However, such a …
