Abstract

A series of rigid polyphenylene, free-base porphyrin-containing dendrimers terminated with either dimethoxybenzene or benzoquinone end-groups were prepared by a combined divergent and convergent synthesis. Unlike previous routes for preparing polyphenylene dendrimers that are incompatible with end-groups bearing certain functional moieties, the synthetic methodology chosen for this work enables incorporation of functional groups on ...
