Abstract

Here, we report on the key feature of the third and fifth generation poly(propylene imine) dendrimers, bearing on the surface hydrophobic phenyl and hydrophilic maltose groups, to self-assemble into necklace- and donut-like supramolecular complex structures after ultrasound treatment of the native aggregation state.
