Simple and effective syntheses of novel, water-soluble, phosphonate-terminated polyester dendrimers varying in size and structure are described. These macromolecular compounds, consisting of thiophosphoric and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic ester building blocks may find potential applications in health sciences as microbicides and/or as useful macromolecular models for functional coatings of superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIOs) nanoparticles intended for use in hyperthermal therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The dendrimers, possessing free phosphonate functional groups on the surface, were prepared in high yields from previously synthesized phosphorus-based substrates with 3,5-bis (dimethoxyphosphonyl)-methylibenzoic acid (4), being an essential precursor of the dendrimer polyanionic surface. In addition, an interesting example of virtual coupling between remote nuclei in the C-13 NMR spectrum of bisphosphonate monomer 3 was observed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
