Abstract

Abstract : The branches of the tree illustrate the different stages of an iterative, divergent approach to conjugated borane dendrimers. The first stage of the "growth" cycle, a proton‐bud, is shown left. The second stage, the functionalization, is shown on next branch, with a Bpin‐blossom. The third stage in the cycle, the activation, is depicted as a BF3 − ‐blossom in full bloom. The last stage of the iterative approach, the expansion, is illustrated by a new branch with two proton‐buds ready for growth. The birds look like redox events from cyclic voltammetry, as addressed in the paper. For more information, see the Full Paper by Todd Marder and colleagues on page 12951 ff.
