Synthesis, electrochemistry and cyclodextrin binding of novel cobaltocenium-functionalized dendrimers

Abstract

A series of novel poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers functionalized with 4, 8, 16 and 32 peripheral cobaltocenium subunits were prepared and characterized with a special focus on their electrochemical properties and binding interactions with β-cyclodextrin.
