50. The hypersurfaces of the dendrimer branches were first calculated separately by using the MM+ force field method and the "Fletcher- Reeves" algorithm until a global minimum was evaluated. In the next step, they were attached to the separately minimized core molecule, and the geometry of the complete molecule was calculated again with the MM+ force field and the "Fletcher-Reeves" algorithm. Because the hypersurfaces generally obtained for more complex dendrimers were fairly flat, the three-dimensional structures presented here are one of several possible local minima. However, these structures were found to be sufficient to evaluate the dimension of the molecules.
51. The dendrimer densities were calculated by dividing the molecular mass by the volume determined from the radius given by the molecular mechanics calculation.

53. In this calculation, the center of gravity of the aromatic perylene system was chosen as the "midpoint" of the chromophore.
