N2 - The pyridine ring-introduced phenylazomethine dendrimer (PyDPA) was synthesized by a dehydration reaction using titanium(IV) chloride. The ultraviolet-visible absorption and the electrochemical study showed that the introduction of the pyridine ring produces a smaller band gap by increasing the highest occupied molecular orbital level and decreasing the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. A crystal of a PyDPA-PdCl2 complex was also prepared. Traditional phenylazomethine dendrimers cannot form a complex with palladium, indicating that PyDPA can potentially coordinate with various metal salts such as Co, Ni, Ru, and Mn and can be used for catalytic or electronic applications.
