In the past two and a half decades, dendrimers have emerged as a distinct branch ofmacromolecular chemistry. Tailoring of dendrimer structure yields precise placement of chromophoresthat can serve as energy harvesters, mimicking photosynthesis. The unique architecture afforded bydendrimers allows for multiple energy harvesters that can transfer their energy to a single core,which is important for optoelectronic applications such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).This review emphasizes the energy transfer characteristics that these dendrimers provide rather thentheir synthesis.
