La catalyse métallodendritique : une contribution efficace à la chimie verte

Metallodendritic catalysis: an efficient contribution to green chemistry. The history, various categories, characteristics and advantages of dendritic catalysis are summarized using a few figures and examples from the studies by our research group. In particular, the scrutiny of different types of dendritic effects led us to the conclusion according which the metallostars or first-generation metallodendrimers provide the best compromise between the efficiency without steric effects and the recovery followed by re-use of the catalysts.
