Synthesis and Catalysis of Organotransition Metal Dendrimers

Abstract

This article describes recent advances in synthesis and catalysis of organometallic dendrimers involving transition metals. Some transition metal complexes have successfully been used as a building block for organometallic dendrimers classified as the main chain type. Some organometallic dendrimers of the surface and the core types have been applied to novel catalysts that can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and are reusable for several times.
