Recent advances in polymer synthesis have significantly enhanced the ability to rationally
design block copolymers with tailored functionality. The self‐assembly of these …

A survey of the state-of-the-art in the development of synthetic methods to incorporate p-
block elements into polymers is given. The incorporation of main group elements (groups 13 …

Many parallels have been drawn between the chemistry of low-valent phosphorus and
carbon. This Perspective is intended to highlight some emerging reactivity of …

The synthesis and study of main-group-element analogues of alkenes and alkynes
containing genuine (pÀp) π bonds involving p-block elements is a central theme of inorganic …

Amphiphilic block copolymers containing phosphine moieties in the main chain are
employed as macromolecular ligands for gold (I). The sequential living anionic …

Three new phosphaalkenes bearing C-aryl chromophores, MesPCPh (Ar)(1a: Ar= 1-
naphthyl, 1b: 9-phenanthryl, 1c: 5-dibenzosuberenyl; Mes= 2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl), are …

A C-pyrenyl poly (methylenephosphine)(M n= 4800, Đ= 1.56) was synthesized from the
anionic polymerization of a P-mesityl phosphaalkene. The phosphine oxide polymer exhibits …

Abstract Moderne Methoden der Polymersynthese eröffnen eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten

We report that the anionic polymerization of P-mesityl and m-xylyl-substituted
phosphaalkenes follows an unusual addition–isomerization mechanism. Specifically, the …

The activation of the P C bond of phosphaalkenes with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs)
offers a convenient means to introduce new functionality at the 4-position of an NHC …
