AbstractThe synthesis, complete characterization and molecular dynamics simulations of dendrimers 4–8 involving [60]fullerene as core tecton and first‐ to thirdgeneration benzyl‐ether‐based dendrons as branches is described. In dendrimer 7 a core branching multiplicity of 12, the highest known to date, is realized for the first time with a Th‐symmetrical C60 core having an octahedral addition pattern. This unique structural type of core building block is only possible on the base of C60 and has no precedent in organic chemistry. NMR investigations as well as molecular modelling studies show that, owing to high core branching multiplicity, dendrimer 7 and to a minor extent the mixed adduct 8 already represent globular and densely packed macromolecules, although only first‐generation dendrons are involved in their construction.
