With the present issue of Topics in Current Chemistry, the fourth and final volume concluding the mini-series on dendrimer chemistry has appeared. With a focus on the interdisciplinary bridges to neighboring fields, the contributions to this volume focus on coordination, catalysis and self-assembly, nicely balanced by a synthesis-based article on dendritic oligoethers. TOC:H.-F. Chow, C.-F. Leung, G.-X. Wang, J. Zhang: Dendritic Oligoethers.- A. Hirsch, O. Vostrowsky: Dendrimers with Carbon Rich-Cores.- S.C. Zimmermann, L.J.
