Abstract: Dendrimers are highly branched molecules that can absorb infrared photons and funnel the energy towards their centres. It turns out that they can also trap it there, preventing vibrational energy from leaking out because of their rigid outer layers. This allows a few low-energy excitations, randomly moving around inside the dendrimer, enough time to combine on one bond and break it - a new way of doing multiphoton chemistry.
