Synthesis of ester-capped carbosilane dendrimers via a hybrid divergent–convergent method

A series of novel ester-capped carbosilane dendrimers (G0-COOCH3–G2-COOCH3) were designed and successfully synthesized via a hybrid divergent–convergent method through a facile hydrosilylation reaction. The structures of these dendrimers were confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, and HRMS analyses.
