Novel Fréchet-type dendron based organic nanodots exhibiting stimuli responsive reversible morphological transformation have been synthesized by a one-pot reaction which involves etching off gold core of a gold nanoparticle cored dendrimer. Self-assembled FDNs can be utilized for encapsulation and on-demand release of guests.
