4. In view of the rapidly increasing number of publications in this field, I feel the need to point out that this characteristic property of true dendrimers occurs only at higher generations and is dependent on structural aspects and the environment. For reviews, consult Bosman, A. W.; Janssen, H. M.; Meijer, E. W. Chem Rev 1999, 99, 1665-1688 and refs. 1 and 2.
5. In addition to the mainly investigated spherical dendrimers, cylindrical dendronized polymers have also attracted considerable attention; see refs. 6 and 7.

8. It should be mentioned that hyperbranched polymers, although having lower degrees of perfection and branching, have actively been explored to achieve dendrimer-like properties because of their rapid synthetic accessibility. For recent publications, consult refs. 9 and 10.

70. Clearly, this control over regiochemical placement, which relates to sequence, does not necessarily translate into control over spatial location because of the structural dynamics and, therefore, the nature of the dendritic backbone itself.
