The orthogonal coupling reactions are a Horner-Emmons (phosphonate-aldehyde) and a Heck (aryl bromide-styrene) reaction, which lead to a poly(phenylene-vinylene) dendrimer whose constituent parts are homogeneous.

Selective activation of functional groups within a dendrimer serve as initiation points for new divergent dendritic growth. The ability to add different dendritic substituents to a dendrimer interior allows its properties to be systematically altered and may allow introduction of complexing or catalytic functionality.
