Size-tunable fluorescent dendrimersomes via aggregation-induced emission

Tetraphenylethylene-functionalized amphiphilic Janus dendrimers of up to third generation are synthesized. Their self-assembly has been studied under kinetic and thermodynamic control. By varying the dendrimer generation number and the self-assembly condition, fluorescent dendrimersomes of tunable s...

Description
Summary:Tetraphenylethylene-functionalized amphiphilic Janus dendrimers of up to third generation are synthesized. Their self-assembly has been studied under kinetic and thermodynamic control. By varying the dendrimer generation number and the self-assembly condition, fluorescent dendrimersomes of tunable size (∼60-200 nm) and quantum yield (5.7-17.4%) are obtained in aqueous medium.
