✦ Synopsis

Generation 1-4 Fr6chet-type dendritic bromides were covalently linked to anthyridine (6) to give "sticky" dendrons 7a-7d. The binding constants of 1:1 complexes between 7 and benzamidinium salt 8 were measured to assess their ability to act as building blocks for self-assembly. A 2:1 complex of 7 and pentamidine 9 formed in 1% CD3CN/CDC ~ indicating the utility of these compounds for constructing larger dendritic assemblies.
