Abstract

A new convergent synthetic route for the synthesis of functionalized photoactive dendrimers having bis-stilbenoid skeletons on planar and tetrahedral cores, endowed with methoxy/methyl group has been developed. Optical spectroscopic techniques have been used to study absorption and emission properties and isomerization behavior of the stilbene dendrimers.
