Abstract
Novel metal-chelating resorcinaren-poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been synthesised. The molecular structure of the resorcinaren-PAMAM dendrimers was characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and by elemental analysis. The molecular weight of the dendrimers was confirmed by MALDI-TOF experiments. Gel permeation chromatography indicated that the product contained only one product. The metal-binding properties of the hyperbranched resorcinaren-PAMAM dendrimers were studied by means of the polymer-supported nanofiltration polymer-supported nanofiltration technique. The results show that the second generation resorcinaren-PAMAM dendrimers retained ∼80% of Cu(II) and ∼35% of Ni(II).
