Abstract
The theoretical postulations of mass spectral quantities and distributions of the three dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) of mechanically interlocked dendrimers ([4]rotaxanes, molecular weight up to 8 800 kDa) have been investigated. The number of different dendrimers in the three library mixtures is 4, 10, and 20. The theoretical postulations involve their macroconstants in a combination with statistical distribution, binding constant, steric, and hydrophobic effects. We found out that the mass spectral intensities which relate to the dendrimer quantities in a competitive mixture are not random, but with a predictable trend in terms of their macroconstants. This postulation agrees significantly well with most of the experimentally determined mass spectral intensities in the dendrimer mixtures.
