  • Detection and functionalization of dendrimers
    Patent number: 7368512
    Abstract: A method of detecting unreacted termini within a dendritic structure is achieved by exposing a dendrimer to a single generating compound capable of bonding to and tagging a deprotected but uncoupled termini. A signal generated by the signal generating compound to an otherwise uncoupled termini provides detection of the unreacted termini.
    Type: Grant

  • T-butyl cascade polymers
    Publication number: 20070142663
    Abstract: A method for forming cascade polymers specifically utilizing the amine monomer of the formula The monomer is made by initially reacting nitromethane and CH2?CHCO2-TBu by nucleophilic addition to form the triester nitrotrialkanoate of the formula and then reducing the nitrosubstituent to afford the said amine monomer.

  • Sol-gel dendron separation and extraction capillary column
    Publication number: 20050106068
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a capillary column including a tube structure having an inner surface and a sol-gel substrate bonded to a dendrimer substrate to form a sol-gel dendrimer matrix that bonds to a portion of the inner surface of the tube structure to form a surface-bonded stationary phase coating thereon. The present invention additionally provides for a capillary column including a tube structure having an inner surface, a stationary phase coating attached to a portion of the inner surface, and a dendrimer moiety bonded to the stationary phase coating. Further, a sol-gel dendrimer coated apparatus including a structure having a surface and a sol-gel substrate bonded to a dendrimer substrate to form a sol-gel dendrimer matrix coating the surface thereon is provided. The present invention also provides for a one-step method for making and preparing a column and a method of making the sol-gel and dendrimer solution.
