Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are inherently crystalline, brittle porous solids.
Conversely, polymers are flexible, malleable, and processable solids that are used for a …

The single chirality of biological molecules in terrestrial biology raises more questions than
certitudes about its origin. The emergence of biological homochirality (BH) and its …

The application of photochemistry to polymer and material science has led to the
development of complex yet efficient systems for polymerization, polymer post …

Complex chemical systems, such as living biological matter, are highly organized structures
based on discrete molecules in constant dynamic interactions. These natural materials can …

Biosystems, including ourselves, are very sensitive to the chirality of compounds; for
instance, monosodium L-glutamate is tasty, while its D-isomer is tasteless, and in many …

Current status and future perspectives in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) are
presented. Special emphasis is placed on mechanistic understanding of ATRP, recent …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

The development of new or more sustainable, active, efficient, controlled, and selective
polymerization reactions or processes continues to be crucial for the synthesis of important …

Redox-active ligands have evolved from being considered spectroscopic curiosities–
creating ambiguity about formal oxidation states in metal complexes–to versatile and useful …

A new approach has been developed to design organic polymers using topology diagrams.
This strategy enables covalent integration of organic units into ordered topologies and …
