TL;DR: Intradendrimer hydrogenation and carbon-carbon coupling reactions in water, organic solvents, biphasic fluorous/organic solvent, and supercritical CO2 are also described.

TL;DR: In this article, the steric crowding on the dendrimer periphery, which increases with the generation of the PAMAM, can act as an adjustable-mesh nanofilter.

TL;DR: Palladium nanoparticles (2−3 nm in diameter) have been prepared within covalently functionalized poly(propylene imine) dendrimers, and the resulting composite materials are shown to be effective for Heck coupling reactions as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This chapter describes composite materials composed of dendrimers and metals or semiconductors, which are useful for a range of catalytic applications including hydrogenations and Heck chemistry.

TL;DR: Dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles are shown to be versatile catalysts for both the hydrogenation of styrene and Heck heterocoupling of iodobenzene and methacrylate in supercritical CO2.
