Cyclic polymers present a topology that differ significantly from their linear counterparts due
to their circular structure and therefore, the lack of chain ends. These simple characteristics …

Transition metals form a variety of alkylidyne complexes with either a d0 metal center (high-
valent) or a non-d0 metal center (low-valent). One of the most interesting properties of …

We establish a synthetically convenient method to degrade polyacrylate homopolymers.
Carboxylic acids are installed along the polymer backbone by partial hydrolysis of the ester …

Described here is a direct entry to two examples of 3d transition metal catalysts that are
active for the cyclic polymerization of phenylacetylene, namely,[(BDI) M {κ2‐C, C …

Cyclic polymers exhibit different solution and bulk properties compared to their linear
analogs of the same molecular weight, such as smaller hydrodynamic volumes and higher …

Recently, cyclic polymers have attracted increasing interest due to their unique topologies,
properties, and functions compared to the linear analogues. This mini‐review focuses on the …

Amongst the rapidly growing metal–organic framework (MOF)-based sensors, a colorimetric
MOF sensor for visual testing of analytes is highly desired but rarely reported. Here, we …

In polyolefins, long-chain branching is introduced through an energy-intensive, high-
pressure radical process to form low-density polyethylene (LDPE). In the current work, we …

Here we report a copper-catalyzed formal dehydration polymerization of propargylic
alcohols. Copper catalysis allows for efficient in situ generation of [n] cumulenes (n= 3, 5) by …

The discovery of metallic conductivity in polyacetylene [‐HC= CH‐] n upon doping
represents a landmark achievement. However, the insolubility of polyacetylene and a dearth …
