Gallic acid-based dendrimers with a thiacalix[4]arene core: synthesis, aggregation and use for stabilization of Pd nanoparticles

Abstract

First-generation gallic acid-based “click” dendrimers with a thiacalix[4]arene core, including a symmetric dendrimer with four dendrons and amphiphilic dendrimers with alkyl lipoiphilic groups, were synthesized using convergent approach.
