Heterometallodendrimers: A structural outlook

• Metallodendrimers containing different metal fragments are reviewed.
• Different strategies to synthesize heterometallodendrimers are described.
• Metallodendrimers have been classified depending on the metal location.

In this review heterometallic dendrimers are organized according to the location of the metal atoms, center, branches or periphery, of the dendrimer skeleton. Heterometal systems formed by inclusion of metal salts or molecules into the dendritic structure through non-covalent interactions are also considered.

This review shows the great scaffold diversity exhibited by heterometallodendrimers.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
