Renewable β-myrcene polymerization initiated by lutetium alkyl complexes ligated by imidophosphonamido ligand

β-Peptide coatings by surface-initiated polymerization.

Homopolymers of β-lactams can be grown by surface-initiated polymerization. These surface-linked β-peptides are living polymers with the potential to be utilized as tunable, protease-resistant interfaces in multiphase structural composites where the characteristics of the interface influence bulk properties.

P4 Activation by Lanthanum and Lutetium Naphthalene Complexes Supported by a Ferrocene Diamide Ligand

Amplification of surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization of 5-(perfluoro-n-alkyl)norbornenes by macroinitiation.

This article reports the enhanced rate of the surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) of 5-(perfluoro-n-alkyl)norbornenes (NBFn) by combining two SIP techniques, namely surface-initiated atom-transfer polymerization (SI-ATRP) to grow a macroinitiator and surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (SI-ROMP) to produce the final coating. This polymerization approach promotes the rapi...

Cis-1,4-Polymerization of Isoprene by 1,3-Bis(oxazolinymethylidene)isoindoline-Ligated Rare-Earth Metal Dialkyl Complexes

A series of novel chiral nonmetallocene pincer-type rare-earth metal dialkyl complexes bearing the chiral monoanionic tridentate C2-symmetric 1,3-bis(oxazolinymethylidene)isoindoline (BOXMI-H) ligand (BOXMI)Ln(CH2SiMe3)2 1–3 (1: Ln = Sc, yield = 57%; 2: Ln = Lu, yield = 55%; 3: Ln = Y, yield = 62%) have been prepared in moderate yields via the acid-base reaction between the BOXMI ligand and rar...

Isomerization initiated by photoinduced ligand dissociation in Ru(II) complexes with the ligand 2-p-tolylpyridinecarboxaldimine.

The excited state reactivity of Ru(ii) complexes continues to be a topic of intense investigation because of their widespread use in applications related to solar energy conversion, such as in photoswitches and for medicinal chemistry. In an effort to gain further understanding of photoinduced ligand exchange and isomerization in Ru(ii) complexes, various isomers of the formula [Ru(PTPI)2(CH3CN...
