Abstract

Dendrimers are macromolecules with well-defined shape and size, being typically symmetric around the core. A new class of aromatic core 0 generation dendrimers and their Cu(0) complexes were synthetized. The obtained adducts were tested as catalysts for reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Higher catalytic activity was observed in each case compared to Cu(0) prepared in situ.
