12. The examples in ref 5 exhibit rotations that increase with increasing numbers of chiral termini. However, in the following system, due to dense packing on the surface occurring due to hydrogen bonding, optical activity decreased as the number of amino acid termini present on poly(propylene imine) dendrimers was increased: Jansen, J. F. G. A.; Peerlings, J. H. W. I.; de Brabander-Van den Berg, E. M. M.; Meijer, E. W. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1995, 34, 1206. Dyes encapsulated in the poly(propylene imine) system with an optical rotation of zero exhibited a small induced circular dichroism which could be the result of the achiral pockets adopting chiral, nonracemic conformations: Jansen, J. F. G. A.; de Brabander-van den Berg, E. M. M.; Meijer. E. W. Recl. Trav. Chim. 1995, 114, 225.

42. 1-6 exhibit their most intense UV absorptions bands at 250-260 nm; however, 4-6 also exhibit a less intense absorption band at 308, 308, and 282 nm, respectively. Dendrimers 7-9 exhibit the most intense bands at 246 nm with a weaker absorption at 260-270 nm. These electronic differences are not solely responsible for the difference in optical rotatory power that is observed because the additional bands at longer wavelength in 4-6 should lead to a slight increase in rotation which is not observed.
43. Since the terminal esters are electronically different than the tribenzoyl core, an interaction of these chromophores would be expected to generate a more complex Cotton effect than is observed.
