Resumen:
Dendronization is a synthetic methodology that offers important advantages.The resulting products, which are called dendronized materials, present new and specificproperties. This review shows numerous examples in which individual dendrons areused as building blocks to prepare more complex arrays via covalent or non-covalentinteractions. In particular, it points out how the structural information programmed into thedendritic architecture can be used in the dendronization process to generate nanostructureswith specific tailored properties. We emphasize the use of different dendrons, with diversechemical structure and size, to functionalize diverse substrates like linear polymers, andplane and curved inorganic surfaces. Apart from this, the review also demonstrates thatself-assembly represents an ideal approach to create well-defined hyperbranched surfacesand it includes some discussion about the ability of both organic and inorganic buildingblocks to direct this process.
