Click chemistry is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing polymeric soft
materials with precise control over architecture and functionality. In this review, we provide a …

The spontaneous condensation of amines with β-triketones (TK), forming β, β′-
diketoenamines (DKE) and releasing water as the sole byproduct, exhibits many of the …

This Minireview details the current state‐of‐the‐art relating to (co) polymerizations mediated
by well‐defined RhI‐ethynyl, vinyl, and aryl complexes. In particular, we focus on RhI …

In the current contribution, we discuss the application and potential of the versatile para-
fluoro-thiol reaction in the context of synthesis and modification of polymers and materials …

The radical ring-opening polymerization (RROP) of thionolactones provides access to
thioester backbone-functional copolymers but has, to date, only been demonstrated on …

The 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentafluorobenzyl group has become a popular reactive functionality in
polymer chemistry because of its high susceptibility to para-fluoro substitution with thiols …

A methacrylic polymer undergoing highly efficient para-fluoro substitution reactions is
presented. A series of well-defined poly (2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentafluorobenzyl methacrylate) …

The addition of fluorine atoms to an aromatic ring brings about an additional set of π-
bonding and antibonding orbitals culminating after the addition of the sixth fluorine with a …

Interconversion between extended and bent structures at the pendant groups of a chiral
polyene framework [poly (phenylacetylene) with (R)‐(2‐methoxy‐2‐phenylacetyl) glycine …

The synthesis of the Rh (I)-aryl complex, Rh (I)(nbd)(BiPh)(P (4-FC6H4) 3) is reported and its
efficacy as an initiator for the (co) polymerization of phenylacetylenes established. The X-ray …
