Synthesis of giant unimolecular dendrimers is challenging due, in part, to difficulties encountered at higher generations, in both convergent and divergent protocols because of the multistep construction/purification process. Herein, we report a hybrid synthetic procedure in which the core is constructed last. This quantitative assembly generated a metallodendrimer that is supercharged (120+), large (11.3 nm diameter), and its core was previously established. The series of complexes has been unequivocally characterized by NMR, ESI-IM-MS, and TEM techniques.
