thiyl radicals, a collection of glycodendrimers with glycan density ranging from six to ninety‐six GlcNAc per dendrimer was obtained. The recognition properties of the prepared glycodendrimers toward the wheatgermagglutinin (WGA) were evaluated by enzyme‐linked lectin assay (ELLA). The eight glycodendrimers were excellent ligands showing IC50 values in the nanomolar range and relative potencies per

A novel ferrocene functionalized polyester dendrimer (PEDr-Fc) containing 6, 12 and 24 peripheral ferrocene moieties were obtained using the esterification reaction between ferrocene carboxylic and polyester dendrimer (PEDr). The H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectra and elemental analysis techniques confirmed the structure of PEDr-Fc and provided evidences of the successful functionalization of PEDr by ferrocene with high yield over 92% and high grafting rate (more than 91%) of ferrocene on the terminals of dendrimer. The cyclic voltammogram measurements were carried out to analyze the redox properties of PEDr-Fcs. The catalytic performances for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) were investigated by DSC techniques. The kinetic parameters were computed by the Kissinger method. PEDr-Fcs maintained the special redox properties by electron transfer of ferrocene/ferrocenium in ferrocene groups and all the redox centers were equivalent with no interaction between them. The electrode reactions of PEDr-Fcs were diffusion-controlled redox processes. PEDr-Fc presented an efficient catalytic effect on the thermal degradation of AP and the catalytic reactions were characterized by decreased activation energy and increased rate constant of thermal decomposition. The possible catalytic mechanism was that the electron transfer between Fe2+ and Fe3+ in ferrocene oxidized by AP and reduced by NH3 produced by the degradation of AP accelerated decomposition reaction below 300 degrees C, and the formation of iron clusters with large surface areas might cause the rupture of the chemical bond in AP at high temperature.

Near-infrared luminescent erbium complexes with 8-hydroxyquinoline-terminated hyperbranched polyester
Novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-terminated hyperbranched polyesters (1-HBPQ and 2-HBPQ) were synthesized and characterized by H-1-NMR and UV-Vis analyses. Then, two erbium complexes (1-HBPQ-Er3+-HQ and 2-HBPQ-Er3+-HQ) were prepared by using 1-HBPQ or 2-HBPQ as the macromolecular ligand and 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) as a second ligand. The FTIR spectra and UV-Vis absorption spectra confirmed that both the macromolecular ligand and the second ligand were successfully coordinated with Er3+ ions. The erbium complexes emitted intense near-infrared luminescence at about 1530 nm, which corresponds to the I-4(13/2)-I-4(15/2) transition of Er3+ ions. Moreover, their full width at half maximum (FWHM) values were greater than 80 nm. The erbium complexes exhibited good solubility in conventional solvents and excellent near-infrared luminescence properties, indicating their promising potential as gain medium materials in optical amplification devices.

Hyperbranched polyesters (HPE) have a high efficiency to encapsulate bioactive agents, including drugs, genes, and proteins, due to their globe-like nanostructure. However, the use of these highly branched polymeric systems for tissue engineering applications has not been broadly investigated. Here, we report synthesis and characterization of photocrosslinkable HPE hydrogels with sustained drug release characteristics for cellular therapies. These HPE can encapsulate hydrophobic drug molecules within the HPE cavities due to the presence of a hydrophobic inner structure that is otherwise difficult to achieve in conventional hydrogels. The functionalization of HPE with photocrosslinkable acrylate moieties renders the formation of hydrogels with a highly porous interconnected structure and mechanically tough network. The compressive modulus of HPE hydrogels was tunable by changing the crosslinking density. The feasibility of using these HPE networks for cellular therapies was investigated by evaluating cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation on hydrogel surface. Highly crosslinked and mechanically stiff HPE hydrogels have higher cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation compared to soft and complaint HPE hydrogels. Overall, we showed that hydrogels made from HPE could be used for biomedical applications that require spatial control of cell adhesion and controlled release of hydrophobic clues.
