Incorporation of redox-active units in a dendritic architecture enable us to gain information on: (i) dendrimer structure and superstructure; (ii) self-assembly processes; (iii) degree of electronic interaction and communication between redox units located in different sites; (iv) changes in conformation brought about by electron transfer processes. Electroactive dendrimers are attracting increasing interest in view of their possible application as sensors, catalysts, enzyme mimics, in which a redox centre is buried inside the dendritic nanoenvironment, and, last but not least, multielectron storage devices.

Abstract

Incorporation of redox-active units in a dendritic architecture enable us to gain information on: (i) dendrimer structure and superstructure; (ii) self-assembly processes; (iii) degree of electronic interaction and communication between redox units located in different sites; (iv) changes in conformation brought about by electron transfer processes. Electroactive dendrimers are attracting increasing interest in view of their possible application as sensors, catalysts, enzyme mimics, in which a redox centre is buried inside the dendritic nanoenvironment, and, last but not least, multielectron storage devices.
