The Power of Thiol-ene Chemistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a tribute to Professor Charlie Hoyle, we take the opportunity to review the impact of thiol-ene chemistry on polymer and materials science over the past 5 years. During this time, a renaissance in thiol-ene chemistry has occurred with recent progress demonstrating its unique advantages when compared with traditional coupling and functionalization strategies. Additionally, the robust nature of thiol-ene chemistry allows for the preparation of well-defined materials with few structural limitations and synthetic requirements. To illustrate these features, the utility of thiol-ene reactions for network formation, polymer functionalization, dendrimer synthesis, and the decoration of three-dimensional objects is discussed. Also, the development of the closely related thiol-yne chemistry is described. VC 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 48: 743–750, 2010

Phosphane-ene chemistry: the reactivity of air-stable primary phosphines and their compatibility with the thiol-ene reaction.
Air-sensitive and air-stable primary phosphines (RPH2) were compared for their ability to undergo photoinitiated phosphane-ene chemistry with 1-hexene. Despite their increased air-stability, the primary phosphines displayed equal to or greater reactivity when compared to air-sensitive alkyl or aryl analogues. The phosphane-ene reaction was also performed in the presence of 1-octanethiol to dete...
متن کاملEffects of modulus and surface chemistry of thiol-ene photopolymers in nanoimprinting.
Thiol-ene photopolymers were studied as patternable resins for nanocontact molding imprint lithography. Photopolymerizable thiol and ene monomer mixtures were used, and after molding, patterned thiol-ene polymer features the size and shape of the original molds were replicated. Adhesion and release were examined and controlled by manipulating the surface chemistry of the substrate and mold. A d...
متن کاملRobust, efficient, and orthogonal synthesis of dendrimers via thiol-ene "click" chemistry.
Dendrimers up to the fourth generation were successfully prepared via the divergent growth strategy using a combination of thiol-ene "click" chemistry and traditional esterification reactions. The thiol-ene reactions were conducted under solvent-free, ambient conditions at room temperature by irradiating with UV light. The fourth-generation dendrimers were subsequently functionalized with carbo...
متن کاملFunctional Microcapsules via Thiol-Ene Photopolymerization in Droplet-Based Microfluidics.
Thiol-ene chemistry was exploited in droplet-based microfluidics to fabricate advanced microcapsules with tunable encapsulation, degradation, and thermal properties. In addition, by utilizing the thiol-ene photopolymerization with tunable cross-link density, we demonstrate the importance of monomer conversion on the retention of omniphilic cargo in double emulsion templated microcapsules. Furth...
متن کاملThiol-ene click chemistry: a biocompatible way for orthogonal bioconjugation of colloidal nanoparticles.
Bioconjugation based on crosslinking primary amines to carboxylic acid groups has found broad applications in protein modification, drug development, and nanomaterial functionalization. However, proteins, which are made up of amino acids, typically give nonselective bioconjugation when using primary amine-based crosslinking. In order to control protein orientation and activity after conjugation...
