Abstract
Dendritic polymer based networks consisting of well-defined hydrophilic and oleophilic (i.e., hydrophobic) domains, are capable of performing as nanoscopic sponges for electrophilic guest moieties such as (i) inorganic and organic cations; (ii) charged or polarized molecules containing electrophilic constituent atoms or atomic groups; and (iii) other electrophilic organic, inorganic, or organometallic species. As a result of such performance, the networks yield novel nanoscopic organo-inorganic composites which contain organosilicon units as an integral part of their covalently bonded matrix.
