Platinum dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) were prepared within fourth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes using an electrochemical coupling strategy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and electrochemical experiments confirmed that the Pt DENs were about 1.4 nm in diameter and that they remained ...

Todeschini et al. have recently suggested to consider multiplicative variants of additive graph invariants, which applied to the Zagreb indices would lead to the multiplicative Zagreb indices of a graph G, denoted by ( ) 1  G and ( ) 2  G , under the name first and second multiplicative Zagreb index, respectively. These are define as     ( ) 2 1 ( ) ( ) v V G G G d v and ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 2...

Efficient chromatography-free synthesis of a new example an aromatic dendrimer bearing nine ferrocene residues and its application in the detection 9,10-diphenylanthracene are reported.

the first ($pi_1$) and the second $(pi_2$) multiplicative zagreb indices of a connected graph $g$, with vertex set $v(g)$ and edge set $e(g)$, are defined as $pi_1(g) = prod_{u in v(g)} {d_u}^2$ and $pi_2(g) = prod_{uv in e(g)} {d_u}d_{v}$, respectively, where ${d_u}$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$. in this paper we present a simple approach to order these indices for connected graphs on ...

The structure of copper(II) complexes formed with triethanolamine (TEA) core poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers from generation 0 (G0) to 4 (G4) were investigated by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique and molecular simulations. Different square planar coordination modes were detected as a function of copper(II) concentration, whose dynamic evolution relates to the high structu...

Understanding the underlying mechanism of nanomedicine-biomembrane interactions is important for the design and optimization of payload delivery systems. This study investigates the interactions between polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer-paclitaxel conjugates and biomembranes using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. We found that acidic conditions (e.g., pH ∼ 5) and membrane asymmetry...

Prion diseases are characterized by the accumulation of PrP(Sc), an aberrantly folded isoform of the host protein PrP(C). Specific forms of synthetic molecules known as dendrimers are able to eliminate protease-resistant PrP(Sc) in both an intracellular and in vitro setting. The properties of a dendrimer which govern this ability are unknown. We addressed the issue by comparing the in vitro ant...

We report that dendrimer-encapsulated Pd nanoparticles having a diameter of approximately 1.7 nm are effective and general catalysts for coupling aryl halides to organostannanes (the Stille reaction) under mild conditions. The significant results of this study are that the Stille reaction is catalyzed by dendrimer-encapsulated Pd nanoparticles in very good yield, in aqueous solution at 23 degre...

We show that it is possible to produce an efficient solution-processable phosphorescent poly(dendrimer) OLED with a 32 lm/W power efficiency at 100 cd/m2 without using a charge transporting host or any improvements in light extraction. This is achieved by using the dendrimer architecture to control inter-chromophore interactions. The effects of using 4,4',4″-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TC...
