Dendritic macromolecules of the first to fourth generation were synthesized, using alkenylation and hydrosilation cycles with allylmagnesium bromide and dichloromethylsilane as building blocks and siloxane tetramer $(Me(CH_2=CH)SiO)_4$, as core molecule. By the reaction of the dichloromethylsilyl-capped generation (G4P) with p-bromophenol, p-phenylphenol and lithium phenyethynylide, dendrimers with specific functions (G4P-BP (Mw: 16,300), G4P-PP (16,121), and CAP-PA (11,764)) have been produced. Analysis of new dendrimers by NMR, UV and MALD1 mass spectrometry suggests that they are pure and unified.
