Functionalized metallodendrimers are a rational synthetic target for gas sensing since a range of transition metal centers can potentially be used and the ligand fragments may serve as anchoring points to an appropriate support. The authors summarize the synthetic approach to compounds such as that shown in the Figure complexed with SO2 and the properties that render them ideal diagnostic materials for SO2.
