Thermoresponsive polymer architectures have become integral building blocks of 'smart' functional materials in modern applications. For a large range of developments, e.g. for drug delivery or nanocatalytic carrier systems, the selective adsorption and partitioning of molecules (ligands or reactants) inside the polymeric matrix are key processes that have to be controlled and tuned for the desi...

In the title coordination polymer, [Hg(NCS)(2)(C(4)H(5)N(3))], the Hg(II) atom is four-coordinated by one aromatic N atom from a 2-amino-pyrimidine ligand, one S atom from a terminal thio-cyanate ligand, and one S atom and one N atom from a bridging thio-cyanate ligand. The crystal structure features polymeric chains running along the b axis which are stabilized by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Treatment of hydrogen peroxide with a polymer-supported hypervalent iodine compound, poly[4-diacetoxyiodo] styrene (PDAIS), generates singlet molecular oxygen (O2) . Singlet oxygen generation was proved by trapping with typical organic compounds such as conjugated dienes, aromatic dienes, and electron-rich alkene. When compared to monomer analogue, the use of PDAIS in peroxidation of substrates...

We consider a family of structurally closely related fully-benzenoid hydrocarbons of increasing number of fused benzene rings. Local and global aromatic properties of such molecules are investigated with a particular interest in investigating the role of the finite size of such molecules in modelling the high-polymer or even graphite. An interesting alternation of local properties for benzene r...

A series of polycations bearing quaternary ammonium moieties have shown antimicrobial activity against the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. Different polymer topologies governed by a disubstituted aromatic core as well as different diamine-based linkers were found to influence the antimicrobial properties. Moreover, the hemolytic activity against human red blood cells was measured and ...

The unique (n, m) SWCNTs have both left- and right-handed helicity and they are enantiomers, and unique chiral SWCNTs with single helicity haven't achieved yet. In our studies the aromatic fluorescence molecule, (R+) 5'-Hexachloro-Fluorescein Phosphoramidite (HEX), was linked to DNA, and this new polymer could help us to get unique chiral SWCNT (11,1) with only right-handed species, and this re...

It was advised to use aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic petroleum resins and their derivatives obtained by oxidation of with a mixture hydrogen peroxide acetic acid as bitumen polymer-modifiers. Petroleum were ionic polymerization unsaturated compounds liquid pyrolysis products under the influence titanium tetrachloride-diethylaluminium chloride catalyst. established that maximum values adhes...
