Abstract
Two types of dendrimers with AB2 branching, one with acyloxysilanes at the branching position (V type) and the other at the non-branching position (Y type), were synthesized using hydrosilylation with chlorosilanes followed by heterofunctional condensation with olefin-functional carboxylic acids, and examined as readily degradable template materials. The V type dendrimer was much more susceptible to ligand redistribution with chlorosilanes during preparation, whereas the Y type was less. The acyloxysilane linkages in these dendrimers could be cleaved readily by alcoholysis or hydrolysis on demand, making for suitable templates.
