  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002996",
  "term": "Dendron",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A wedge-shaped, highly branched oligomer or polymer segment that possesses a single focal point and multiple terminal groups. It represents one of the branched arms that, when connected to a central core, forms a dendrimer. Dendrons can also be synthesized independently and then attached to other molecules.",
