Dendrimers are highly branched, three-dimensional macromolecules with pre-cise chemical structures. Their synthesis involves repetitive sequences of chemical reactions, progressively increasing the generation size in a controlled hierarchical manner. Their multifunctional peripheries offer vast possibilities for targeted modifi-cations, making dendrimers suitable for applications where the use of traditional poly-mers is either impossible or impractical. In catalysis, dendrimers with active centers on their periphery can efficiently initiate monomer polymerization and be separated from the reaction mixture via mic-roiltration or magnetic fields. When combined with metal NPs, dendrimers stabilize the particles, forming catalytically active nanocomposites. Their branched structure enhances NPs stability and performance, making them effective across a variety of chemical reactions. Dendrimers have found diverse applications in medicine as contrast agents for MRI, drug delivery systems, in vitro diagnostic tools, boron-neutron capture therapy agents, and in mimicking micelles, acting as nanoscale reactors. Their multifunctional surfaces and internal cavities make them particularly useful, offering controlled release of drugs or encapsulation of therapeutic agents. We have designed rigid functional aromatic dendrimers that serve as versatile platforms for creating various advanced materials. These dendrimers have demon-strated utility in catalysis1-9, electrochemical ion sensors10-12, light-emitting materi-als13-14, drug delivery systems, in the inhibition of amyloid protein aggregation15-17.
