TL;DR: The dynamic solution equilibria between molecular Borromean rings (BRs) and Solomon knots (SKs), assembled from transition metal-templated macrocycles, consisting of exo-bidentate bipyridyl and endo-tridentate diiminopyrIDyl ligands, have been examined with respect to the choice of the metal template and reaction conditions employed in the synthesis of theMetalated BRs, otherwise known as Borromeates.

TL;DR: The results show that the dynamics of the shuttling processes are related to the change in the intercomponent interactions and structural features of the two mutually interlocked molecular components.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of carbohydrate-containing dendrimers has been achieved by a convergent growth approach, which involves: 1) synthesis of the triglucosylated derivative of tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine (TRIS), 2) the introduction of a glycine-derived spacer and 3,3′-iminodipropionic acid derived branching units on to the TRIS derivative by amide bond formation, 3) condensation of the above saccharide-containing Dendrons with a trifunction

TL;DR: The necessity of allowing the tetracationic ring to become solvated by water leads to differences in the structures for the two co-conformations in the LM, which shows good agreement with experimental analyses from synchrotron X-ray reflectivity measurements of related systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the extension of dendritic synthetic principles to the preparation of new kinds of Dendrimer-based glycoconjugate systems has been investigated, and a convergent growth approach to the synthesis of α-d...
