Construction of Janus dendrimers through a self-assembly approach involving chiral discrimination at a focal point

A strategy to build Janus dendrimers via the chirality-directed self-assembly of heteroleptic Zn(ii) BOX complexes is reported. The method allows quantitative synthesis of Janus dendrimers in situ without the need for purifications. Each dendritic domain of the Janus dendrimers can be recycled upon disassembly at the focal point.
