Abstract
⺠A dendronization strategy was used to induce controlled NP aggregation. ⺠Dendritic ligands lead to stable NP aggregates. ⺠Nondendritic ligands lead to uncontrolled NP aggregation. ⺠NP assembly depends on ligand nature and concentration, time, and temperature. ⺠Stability of dendronized-NP aggregates was attributed to the dendritic architecture.
