Experimental and theoretical molecular weights of dendrimers 4-armPEG-Gn.

	Mn (GPC)^a	PDI	Mp^b(MALDI)	Theoretical Mn
4-armPEG-G0	12,000	1.21	10,700	10,000
4-armPEG-G1	NA^a	NA^a	11,300	10,900
4-armPEG-G2	17,600	1.25	12,100	12,700
4-armPEG-G3	NA^a	NA^a	13,200	15,700
4-armPEG-G4	23,800	1.19	ND^c	23,000

Aqueous phase cationic GPC was used to determine Mn and PDI of the positively charged dendrimers. Data for the alkyne-terminated dendrimers is not available (NA) as they were not analyzed due to their poor solubility and aggregation in the mobile phase.

Mp: maximum of molecular ion peaks.

ND: not detectable
