Abstract
Transmetalation of polylithiated, carbosilane (CS) dendrimers functionalized with the potentially terdentate ligand [C6H2(CH2NMe2)2-2,6-R-4]- ( = NCN) with NiCl2(PEt3)2 produced a series of nickel-containing dendrimers [G0]-Ni4 (4), [G1]-Ni12 (5), and [G2]-Ni36 (7) in moderate to good yields. The metallodendrimers 4, 5, and 7 are catalytically active in the atom-transfer radical addition
