| Abstract
| - Layered dendrimer-loaded zinc arsenates (ZnAs) were synthesized under hydrothermalconditions. The so-called DAB-Am-n family of dendrimers is used to produce ZnAs solidswith variable interlayer distances. Analysis of the 00k X-ray diffraction reflections revealsthat the higher-generation DAB-Am-n dendrimers are “squeezed” between the ZnAs layers,judging from the observation of interlayer spacings that increase more slowly with dendrimergeneration than the actual average diameters of the free dendrimers. Transmission electronmicroscopy shows that, under the synthetic conditions adopted here, the ZnAs sheets aresubject to some level of bending and defects. The temperature-programmed oxidation patternsand elemental analysis of these materials are also discussed.
