Dendritic constitutional repeating unit

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002991",
  "term": "Dendritic constitutional repeating unit",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specific constitutional repeating unit that contains a branch point and contributes to the highly branched, tree-like structure of a dendron or dendritic polymer. This unit is responsible for the iterative growth and increasing number of terminal groups in each generation. It is a fundamental building block in the synthesis of dendrimers.",
