Synthesis of Calixarene-Capped Carbosilane Dendrimers

A new class of polycalix[4]arene hosts has been constructed based oil a carbosilane dendrimer architecture, in which each dendritic branch terminates with a calix[4]arene entity. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of the zeroth generation example with four calix[4]arenes and or the first generation example with 12 calix[4]arenes.
