Abstract

Abstract The multiple monovalent binding of adamantyl–urea poly (propyleneimine) dendrimers with carboxylic acid–urea guests was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations and X-ray crystallography to better understand the structure and behavior of the dynamic multivalent complex in solution. The results from the two methods are consistent and suggest a preferred molecular picture of this complicated aggregate of multiple ...
