Metallacarboranes as Building Blocks for Polyanionic Polyarmed Aryl-Ether Materials

Synthesis of Functionalized Aryl-vinyl Ethers as Building Blocks and Auxiliaries in Organic Synthesis

5- hydroxyisoquinoline undergoes a smooth reaction with alkyl propiolates in the presence of triphenylphosphine (15 mol%) to produce the corresponding (E)-alkyl 3-(isoquinolin-5-yloxy) acrylate in good yields. When the reaction was performed by 2-methyl 4-hydroxyquinoline and 3-nitro 4-hydroxypyridine, similar aryl vinyl ethers were obtained.

Superatoms as Building Blocks of New Materials

During the last couple of decades or so, the subject of nanoscale science began expanding into a unique field of science that offered the prospect of tailoring the design of materials having chosen properties. Two potentially promising approaches were conceived, one involving a bottom up approach while the other a top down method. In both cases, approaching the desirable nanoscale size regime w...

Redefining biorefinery: the search for unconventional building blocks for materials.

This review discusses different strategies for the upgrading of biomass into sustainable monomers and building blocks as scaffolds for the preparation of green polymers and materials.

End–Functionalized Polymers: Versatile Building Blocks for Soft Materials

We present a concise review of telechelic polymers of various architectures, focusing on the structure, solute solvent interactions, aggregation processes, equilibrium and dynamical properties and applications. Telechelics are macromolecules with functionalized, mutually attractive endgroups, which assume a variety of conformations that depend on solvent quality, salinity and pH of the solvent,...
