Abstract

Novel triazole bridged dendrimers with rhodamine B derivative as surface groups have been achieved using click chemistry by both divergent and convergent approaches. Rhodamine B decorated dendrimers 1, 2, and 3 were synthesised up to the second generation with spirolactam grafted at the terminal. The UV and fluorescence intensity increases with the increase in the dendritic generation. The synthesised rhodamine B decorated dendrimers show significant antioxidant behaviour compared with the standards butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) and gallic acid when tested by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay methods, respectively. Rhodamine B decorated higher generation dendrimers exhibit better antioxidant activity than the lower generation dendrimers due to the presence of a greater number of triazole branching units and rhodamine B derivative surface units.
