Linear, flexible macromolecules in the semicrystalline state have long been recognized as
being globally metastable and divided into microphases and nanophases with strong …

In this critical review we summarise the currently available 'C1 polymerisation'techniques as
valuable alternatives for 'C2 polymerisation'in the preparation of saturated main-chain …

The linear hydrocarbon polymethylene differs from polyethylene in that the polymer chain is
built up one carbon at a time. Polymethylene has been synthesized by the catalyzed …

Polymerization of alkyl diazoacetates [N2CHCO2R: R= Et (1a) and Me (1b)] mediated by
PdCl2 in the presence of an amine gave poly (alkoxycarbonylmethylene) s [(CHCO2R) n …

This review describes recent progress in the preparation of C–C main chain polymers,
where the main chain is constructed from one carbon unit. The first example for this strategy …

Palladium-mediated polymerization of diazoketones (1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, and 6a) proceeded to
give poly (acylmethylene) s (1b, 2b, 3b, 4b, and 6b), in which all of the main chain carbons …

The polymerization of dimethylsufoxonium methylide to produce linear polymethylene
polymers is described. The reaction is catalyzed/initiated by trialkylboranes and gives …

We synthesized π-stacked polymers by incorporating [2.2] paracyclophane units into
conjugated polymer backbones and developed corresponding through-space-conjugated …

In contrast to trialkyl boranes, the reaction of borane (BH3) and ethyl diazoacetate (EDA)
generates dimer, trimer, and oligomers of EDA. The products arise from double, triple, and …

Phenyldiazomethane was found to be polymerized by the reaction with palladium‐based
initiating systems. Homopolymerization of phenyldiazomethane afforded a polymer, whose …
