ABSTRACT

Dendrons with a fluorescent probe in a specific location have been synthesized and characterized. Accessibility of guest molecules to each of these layers was then analyzed using an intermolecular photoinduced electron-transfer process. Comparisons of the accessibility among each layer of the dendron and among the generations are provided.
