For the first time, knot molecules (of the amide type) are synthesized, which bear one to three dendritic units of various generations at their periphery. They were obtained through two different routes: i) attachment of dendritic wedges to new mono-, di- and trihydroxy functionalized dodecaamide knots that have been obtained by selective debenzylation of oligobenzyloxy substituted knots, or ii) cyclization of already dendron substituted pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl dichlorides with an "extended diamine" to directly yield the "tri-dendroknots". The derivatization of knot molecules by functional substituents and even large dendritic units is an important advance in the synthesis and property variation of molecular knots. This holds true in particular for substitution of the pyridine units of the knots, whereas the isophthalic acid units seem not to tolerate larger substitutents, as reflected in lower knot yields. These syntheses also demonstrate knots to be accessible indirectly by substitution of the corresponding mono-, di- and tri-functionalized knot skeleton. An advantage of dendritic "decoration" is the control of solubility and chromatographic behaviour of the molecular knots (knotanes). Suggestions are made about the threading mechanism by supramolecular template effects leading to the formation of amide-based molecular knots. The topological chirality of the new "dendroknots" is shown by efficient enantioseparations (separation factor alpha between 1.22 and 1.48). For this purpose (commercially unavailable) chiral column material of the Chiralpak type was used, in which the chiral component is covalently bonded to the silica gel support. The racemate splittings provide additional evidence for the knotted structure, as all other conceivable isomers such as macromonocyclic or catenated dodecaamides would not be chiral. The pure enantiomers obtained exhibit pronounced Cotton effects in their circular dichroism spectra. By comparison with the unsubstituted knot, the absolute configuration (Lambda, Delta) of all new knots is derived.
