Abstract
Dendrimers constitute a distinctive category of synthetic materials that bear resemblance to proteins in various aspects, such as discrete structural organization, globular morphology, and nanoscale dimensions. Remarkably, these attributes coexist with the capacity for facile large-scale production. Due to these advantages, the realm of dendrimers has undergone substantial advancement since their inception in the 1980s. Numerous reviews have been dedicated to elucidating this subject comprehensively, delving into the properties and applications of quintessential dendrimer varieties like PAMAM, PPI, and others. Nevertheless, the contemporary landscape of dendrimers transcends these early paradigms, witnessing the emergence of a diverse array of novel dendritic architectures in recent years. In this review, we aim to present a comprehensive panorama of the expansive domain of dendrimers. As such, our focus lies in discussing the key attributes and applications of the predominant types of dendrimers existing today. We will commence with the conventional variants and progressively delve into the more pioneering ones, including Janus, supramolecular, shape-persistent, and rotaxane dendrimers.

Abstract
Pyridinoimine-functionalized poly(ether imine) (PETIM) dendrimers of 1-3 generations, possessing 4-16 moieties at the peripheries, are synthesized. Chloride-functionalized dendrimers are reacted with N-methylamino pyridine, under basic conditions, which led to functionalization of the peripheries of a dendrimer with pyridoneimine moieties. Variable-temperature 1H NMR studies are performed to assess the contributing resonance forms of pyridoneimine in the dendrimers. Solvatochromism and 15N NMR studies aid further the assessment of the contributing resonance forms. Comparison with derivatives that possess 1 and 2 pyridoneimines illustrates the contributing resonance forms between nonaromatic pyridoneimine and zwitter ionic aromatic imidopyridinium species.

Abstract
The nature of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) has continued to encourage researchers to design and construct a variety of high-performance materials. Introducing mechanically interlocked structures into polymers has led to novel polymeric materials, called mechanically interlocked polymers (MIPs). Rotaxane-based MIPs are an important class, where the mechanically interlocked characteristic retains a high degree of structural freedom and mobility of their components, such as the rotation and sliding motions of rotaxane units. Therefore, these MIP materials are known to possess a unique set of properties, including mechanical robustness, adaptability and responsiveness, which endow them with potential applications in many emerging fields, such as protective materials, intelligent actuators, and mechanisorption. In this review, we outline the synthetic strategies, structure-property relationships, and application explorations of various polyrotaxanes, including linear polyrotaxanes, polyrotaxane networks, and rotaxane dendrimers.

Abstract
Second-generation type III-B rotaxane dendrons, equipped with succinimide and acetylene functional groups, were synthesized successfully and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. A cell viability study of a dendron with a normal cell line of L929 fibroblast cells revealed no obvious cytotoxicity at a range of 5 to 100 μM. The nontoxic properties of the sophisticated rotaxane dendron building blocks provided a choice of bio-compatible macromolecular machines that could be potentially developed into polymeric materials.

Abstract
During the past few decades, fabrication of functional rotaxane-branched dendrimers has become one of the most attractive yet challenging topics within supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Herein, we present the successful fabrication of a family of new rotaxane-branched dendrimers containing up to 21 platinum atoms and 42 photosensitizer moieties through an efficient and controllable divergent approach. Notably, the photosensitization efficiencies of these rotaxane-branched dendrimers gradually increased with the increase of dendrimer generation. For example, third-generation rotaxane-branched dendrimer PG3 revealed 13.3-fold higher 1O2 generation efficiency than its corresponding monomer AN. The enhanced 1O2 generation efficiency was attributed to the enhancement of intersystem crossing (ISC) through the simple and efficient incorporation of multiple heavy atoms and photosensitizer moieties on the axles and wheels of the rotaxane units, respectively, which has been validated by UV-visible and fluorescence techniques, time-dependent density functional theory calculations, photolysis model reactions, and apparent activation energy calculations. Therefore, we develop a new promising platform of rotaxane-branched dendrimers for the preparation of effective photosensitizers.

Abstract
Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as catenanes, rotaxanes, and knots, have applications in information storage, switching devices, and chemical catalysis. Rotaxanes are dumbbell-shaped molecules that are threaded through a large ring, and the relative motion of the two components along each other can respond to external stimuli. Multiple rotaxane units can amplify responsiveness, and repetitively branched molecules--dendrimers--can serve as vehicles for assembly of many rotaxanes on single, monodisperse compounds. Here, we report the synthesis of higher-generation rotaxane dendrimers by a divergent approach. Linkages were introduced as spacer elements to reduce crowding and to facilitate rotaxane motion, even at the congested periphery of the compounds up to the fourth generation. The structures were characterized by 1D multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, and (31)P) and 2D NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF-MS, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and microscopy-based methods including atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). AFM and TEM studies of rotaxane dendrimers vs. model dendrimers show that the rotaxane units enhance the rigidity and reduce the tendency of these assemblies to collapse by self-folding. Surface functionalization of the dendrimers with ferrocenes as termini produced electrochemically active assemblies. The preparation of dendrimers with a well-defined topological structure, enhanced rigidity, and diverse functional groups opens previously unidentified avenues for the application of these materials in molecular electronics and materials science.

Abstract
Type III-B first generation [3]rotaxane and second generation [4]rotaxane dendrimers have been synthesized via (1) a modified copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), (2) Glaser-Hay's acetylenic oxidative homo-coupling, and (3) amide formation. The dendron does not reveal obvious cytotoxicities in L929 fibroblast cells. The rotaxane dendrimers can capture ammonia and are switchable both in solution and on surfaces.

Abstract
Two calix[6]arene directional wheels can be ordered in the right stereosequence by their through-the-annulus threading with a rationally designed bis(benzylalkylammonium) axle. These stereoisomeric pseudo[3]rotaxanes can be considered as a minimal "informational system" because the "written information" on the thread is transferred to a specific sequence stereoisomer.

Abstract
We monitored the progress of formation of dimethoxypillar[5]arene by size-exclusion chromatography. Surprisingly, the cyclization reaction completely finished in just 3 min. By improving the reaction conditions and purification process, we successfully obtained dimethoxypillar[5]arene in a short time and in high yield (71%) from commercially available reagents. By improving the deprotection reaction of the methoxy moieties, pillar[5]arene was isolated quantitatively. Single crystal X-ray analysis confirmed the structure of pillar[5]arene in the solid state.

Abstract
The number of synthetic methods enabling the preparation of ammonium-based rotaxanes has increased very rapidly in the past ten years. The challenge in the synthesis of rotaxanes results from the rather weak interactions between the ammonium-containing rod and the crown ether macrocycle in the pseudorotaxane structure that rely mostly on O*H hydrogen bonds. Indeed, no strong base or polar solvent that could break up H-bonding can be used during the formation of rotaxanes because the two components will separate as two distinct entities. Moreover, most of the reactions have to be performed at room temperature to favor the formation of pseudorotaxane in solution. These non-trivial prerequisites have been taken into account to develop efficient reaction conditions for the preparation of rotaxanes and those are described in detail along this review.

Abstract
Mechanically bonded macromolecules constitute a class of challenging synthetic targets in polymer science. The controllable intramolecular motions of mechanical bonds, in combination with the processability and useful physical and mechanical properties of macromolecules, ultimately ensure their potential for applications in materials science, nanotechnology and medicine. This tutorial review describes the syntheses and properties of a library of diverse mechanically bonded macromolecules, which covers (i) main-chain, side-chain, bridged, and pendant oligo/polycatenanes, (ii) main-chain oligo/polyrotaxanes, (iii) poly[c2]daisy chains, and finally (iv) mechanically interlocked dendrimers. A variety of highly efficient synthetic protocols--including template-directed assembly, step-growth polymerisation, quantitative conjugation, etc.--were employed in the construction of these mechanically interlocked architectures. Some of these structures, i.e., side-chain polycatenanes and poly[c2]daisy chains, undergo controllable molecular switching in a manner similar to their small molecular counterparts. The challenges posed by the syntheses of polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes with high molecular weights are contemplated.

Abstract
A mechanically interlocked light-harvesting system [3]rotaxane A has been synthesized in high yield through Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition; the hexyl-substituted truxene units are introduced into the wheels as donors and an oligo(para-phenylenevinylene) (OPV) unit into the axis as the acceptor. The structure and the purity of [3]rotaxane A were confirmed by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and ESI HRMS. The azide-alkyne cycloaddition is demonstrated to be an efficient stoppering method in the synthesis of the rotaxane containing dibenzo[24]crown-8 and dibenzyl ammonium units. Detailed steady-state UV/Vis absorption, photoluminescent, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were performed to investigate the photophysical properties of [3]rotaxane A and its reference compounds in solution and as thin films. Even in dilute solution, efficient energy transfer from the truxene-functionalized wheels to the OPV-based axis, through the dibenzo[24]crown-8 and dibenzyl ammonium interaction, is observed in [3]rotaxane A. The unique topology of [3]rotaxane A not only efficiently promotes the intramolecular energy-transfer process, but also prevents intermolecular aggregation in the solid state. The new antenna system opens up the possibility of controllable light-harvesting molecular machines or other optoelectronic devices on the nanometer scale.

Abstract
By taking advantage of the fact that cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) forms exceptionally stable host-guest complexes with protonated amines, and that its homologue CB[8] can encapsulate a pair of electron-rich and electron-deficient guest molecules to form a stable 1:1:1 complex, we synthesized a novel dendritic [10]pseudorotaxane, or second-generation rotaxane dendrimer (from a topological point of view), in which 13 molecular components are held together by noncovalent interactions. A triply branched molecule containing an electron-deficient bipyridinium unit on each branch formed a branched [4]pseudorotaxane with 3 equivalents of CB[8]. Addition of 3 equivalents of 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene produced a first-generation rotaxane dendrimer, which was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and CSI-MS. The reaction of the branched [4]pseudorotaxane with 3 equivalents of a triply branched molecule that has an electron-donor unit at one arm and CB[6]-containing units at the other two gave the dendritic [10]pseudorotaxane, the structure of which was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis titration experiments, and CSI-MS.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) bind strongly to rigid ruthenium metallodendrimers. High valence ions effectively coagulate these nanotubes from stable dispersions in N,N-dimethylforamide. While ruthenium salts and small [Ru(diimine)(3)](2+) complexes also coagulate the nanotubes, they require much higher concentrations and are easily extracted from the nanotubes with acetonitrile. Enantiomerically pure ruthenium metallodendrimer [Lambda(6)Delta(3)Lambda-Ru(10)](20+)[PF(6)(-)](20) is shown to bind strongly and specifically to the SWNTs. Most of the nanotube's ends are functionalized with this large (5.8 nm), optically active, rigid supramolecular complex. We study the binding capacity with UV-vis and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Imaging the functionalized nanotubes with scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) yields direct confirmation of end functionalization. Statistical analysis of the AFM images shows the morphology of the functionalized ends is consistent with the nanotubes binding to one of the endo- or exoreceptors around the dendrimer. Implications of these results toward efficient nanomanufacturing of carbon nanotube devices are discussed.

Abstract
The template-directed construction of crown-ether-like macrocycles around secondary dialkylammonium ions (R2NH2+) has been utilized for the expedient (one-pot) and high-yielding synthesis of a diverse range of mechanically interlocked molecules. The clipping together of appropriately designed dialdehyde and diamine compounds around R2NH2+-containing dumbbell-shaped components proceeds through the formation, under thermodynamic control, of imine bonds. The reversible nature of this particular reaction confers the benefits of "error-checking" and "proof-reading", which one usually associates with supramolecular chemistry and strict self-assembly processes, upon these wholly molecular systems. Furthermore, these dynamic covalent syntheses exploit the efficient templating effects that the R2NH2+ ions exert on the macrocyclization of the matched dialdehyde and diamine fragments, resulting not only in rapid rates of reaction, but also affording near-quantitative conversion of starting materials into the desired interlocked products. Once assembled, these "dynamic" interlocked compounds can be "fixed" upon reduction of the reversible imine bonds (by using BH3.THF) to give kinetically stable species, a procedure that can be performed in the same reaction vessel as the inital thermodynamically controlled assembly. Isolation and purification of the mechanically interlocked products formed by using this protocol is relatively facile, as no column chromatography is required. Herein, we present the synthesis and characterization of 1) a [2]rotaxane, 2) a [3]rotaxane, 3) a branched [4]rotaxane, 4) a bis [2]rotaxane, and 5) a novel cyclic [4]rotaxane, demonstrating, in incrementally more complex systems, the efficacy of this one-pot strategy for the construction of interlocked molecules.

Abstract
To investigate the possibility of incorporating the 1,2-bis(pyridinium)ethane[subset or is implied by]24C8 [2]pseudorotaxane motif into dendrimer like macromolecules, a series of branched [n]rotaxanes were prepared employing multiple dibenzo-24-membered crown ether wheels with various aromatic core structures and the 1,2-bis(4,4'-dipyridinium)ethane axle. Yields of branched [2]-, [3]- and [4]rotaxanes were dependent on the size of the core and the relative proximity of the crown ethers arranged around the core unit.

Abstract
Two isomers of bis(carbomethoxybenzo)-24-crown-8 (cis-BCMB24C8, 1, and trans-BCMB24C8, 2) were synthesized regiospecifically with acceptable to excellent yields. Cyclization in the presence of a template reagent, KPF(6), led to an essentially quantitative yield of the potassium complex of the crown ether 1; the isolated cyclization yield of pure was a remarkable 89%! The methods not only avoid the very difficult separation of the isomers, but also greatly shorten the synthesis time by eliminating syringe pump usage during cyclization. The complexations of the isomeric BCMB24C8 with dibenzylammonium hexafluorophosphate (10) were studied by NMR; association constants (Ka) for 1 and 2 with the dibenzylammonium cation are 190 and 312 M(-1), respectively. The X-ray crystal structures of crown ether and the complexes 1.KPF(6), 2.KPF(6) and pseudorotaxane 2.10 were determined.

Abstract
Dendrimers are highly branched macromolecules which may engage in host-guest interactions, acting as either hosts or guests; this review is specifically concerned with the binding behavior of dendrimers containing single or multiple guest residues interacting with individual, freely diffusing hosts.

Abstract
We have prepared and investigated two dendrimers based on a 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenoid-type core, containing 9 and 21 viologen units in their branches, respectively, and terminated with tetraarylmethane derivatives. We have shown that, in dichloromethane solution, such highly charged cationic species give rise to strong host-guest complexes with the dianionic form of the red dye eosin. Upon complexation, the absorption spectrum of eosin becomes broader and is slightly displaced toward lower energies, whereas the strong fluorescence of eosin is completely quenched. Titration experiments based on fluorescence measurements have shown that each viologen unit in the dendrimers becomes associated with an eosin molecule, so that the number of positions ("seats") available for the guest molecules in the hosting dendrimer is clearly established, e.g., 21 for the larger of the two dendrimers. The host-guest interaction can be destroyed by addition of chloride ions, a procedure which permits eosin to escape from the dendrimer's interior in a controlled way and to regain its intense fluorescence. When chloride anions are precipitated out by addition of silver cations, eosin molecules re-enter the dendrimer's interior and their fluorescence again disappears.
