Abstract We report a novel method to synthesize degradable poly(vinyl ether)s with cleavable thioacetal bonds periodically arranged in the main chains using controlled cationic copolymerization of vinyl ethers 7‐membered cyclic ( 7‐CTA ) via degenerative chain transfer (DT) internal bonds. The bonds, which are introduced into by ring‐opening ethers, serve as in‐chain dormant species allow homog...

Recent work on non-conjugated pendant electroactive polymers (NCPEPs) has demonstrated significant impacts of structural parameters such as backbone stereoregularity and the spacer connecting to properties, most notably charge carrier mobilities. Tuning group however not been reported for stereoregular NCPEPs. Here we present a family novel isotactic poly((carbazolyl-alkyl-triazolyl)methyl meth...

The neopentyl ester of 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene-5-boronic acid (dpy-B) is a useful intermediate in the divergent synthesis of N;C;N-coordinating, 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene ligands, HL(n), that carry aryl substituents at the 5-position of the central ring. The platinum(ii) complexes, PtL(n)Cl, of several such ligands have been prepared, incorporating pendant anisoles, arylamines, an oxacrown, and...

During the COUIX of I :50 000 scale regional mapping in the Northern Selkirk Mountains (NTS 082M) various granitic rocks were sampled for U-Pb geochronology. This report presents new U-Pb data, interpreted ages, and the implications of these results for hvo such samples from the Selkirk Allochthon: the Downie Creek otihogneiss, and the Goldstream Pluto”. The Downie Creek orthogneiss consists of...
