Abstract

equation presented A novel class of dendrons and dendrimers containing all-azobenzene units (up to 29 azobenzene groups) was designed and synthesized by the convergent method using a protected orthogonal AB2 monomer (10) and tetra-functionalized core (11) as building blocks. The preparation of the key monomer (10) involved condensation of a protected nitroso compound (9) and 5-aminoisophthalic acid. These are the first examples of photoresponsive dendrimers with all-azobenzene repeating units.
