Large supramolecular metallodendrimers can now be synthesised rapidly, reaching a high number of branches in only a few generations, and approaching the de Gennes steric limit. They are characterised by their MALDI TOF mass spectra, in particular by the molecular peak, and by H-1, C-13 and P-31 NMR. Following rational molecular engineering, they can be designed to achieve essential functions such as molecular batteries, catalysts and sensors for the recognition of various anions.
