Recently, the phosphorus phenol nickel catalysts have attracted widespread attention from the academic community due to their excellent copolymerization performance. Here, a series of phosphorus phenol nickel catalysts containing N atoms were designed and synthesized. We utilized the coordination of N atoms of ligands with metal salt Lewis acid to form steric hindrance, and studied the polymerization

Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of numerous organic polymer-based semiconductors for applications in areas ranging from organic electronics to bioimaging and biosensing. In the synthesis of these polymer materials, Stille polycondensation has emerged as a highly versatile and effective tool owing to its mild reaction conditions, functional group tolerance, and versatility. This perspective

Branched polymers with directional polymer chains require scaffolds with multiple functional groups oriented in a single direction. Inorganic clusters are suitable for attaining unique three-dimensional structures. The incompletely condensed polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (IC-POSS) contain three silanol groups at the open corners of the cubic siloxane core. The three-directional silanol groups

Microporous polyimides (MPIs) with extended π-conjugated structure have attracted interests thanks to the synergetic effects between large surface areas and semiconducting characteristics plus their anticipated photo-catalysis applications. In this study, three naphthalene-based semiconducting MPIs with a maximum surface area of 1909 m2 g−1 have been prepared within 30 min via solvothermal method,

The construction of well-defined multiblock copolymers in a facile manner is a meaningful but challenging task in polymer synthesis. Herein, we disclose that the sequence distribution of 1-cyclopropylvinylbenzene (CPVB) and p-tert-butylstyrene (t-St) units along the chain exhibits great discrepancies at different reaction temperatures during living anionic polymerization when the feeding raio of CPVB

The synthesis of poly(2-oxazoline)s offers an unparalleled degree of functionalization when fabricating smart, functional polymers for biomedical uses. The termination of 2-oxazoline polymerisations by direct endcapping can be exploited to introduce a wide variety of end groups and could potentially offer an easier synthetic route to amphiphilic polymers that usually block copolymer synthesis. Herein

Discrete oligomers play an important role in both advanced material development and fundamental research. Nonetheless, practical applications have been somewhat hindered by the challenges associated with their facile and diverse preparation. In this study, we introduce a rapid approach to construct a range of functionalized 1,2,3-triazole-based oligomers. This approach involves facile assembly of internal
