Abstract
Dendron-mediated self-assembly, disassembly, and self-organization of complex systems have been investigated. The most ideal building blocks would need to display shape persistence in solution and in the solid state, since only this feature provides access to the use of complementary methods of structural analysis. Most supramolecular dendrimers are chiral even when they are constructed from nonchiral building blocks and are equipped with mechanisms that amplify chirality. This poses additional challenges associated with the understanding of the structural origin of chirality in different supramolecular structures through combinations of structural analysis methods. While many supramolecular structures assembled from dendrimers and dendrons resemble some of the related morphologies generated from block-copolymers, they are much more complex and are not determined by the volume ratio between the dissimilar parts of the molecule.
