Abstract
The synthesis of a novel iron(III)-selective hydroxypyridinone hexadentate-terminated dendritic chelator based on a benzene tricarbonyl core polyamine dendrimer is described. The iron-chelating ability of the dendritic chelator was demonstrated by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The physicochemical properties of the isolated hexadentate unit were also investigated. The dendrimer was found to possess an extremely high affinity for iron(II), namely logK = 34.8, pFe(3+) = 30.6.
