POSS dendrimers constructed from a 1 → 7 branching monomer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jun 11;50(46):6126-9. doi: 10.1039/c4cc01859a.

Abstract

Here, we demonstrate the first known approach to create G1 and G2 POSS dendrimers with 9 and 65 POSS units, and 56 and 392 terminal vinyl groups from a 1 → 7 branching monomer in only one and three steps.
