A novel alkyl-functionalized polyviologen-based polymer, 6. nBr, was synthesized via step-
growth polymerization of water soluble bipyridinium dialdehyde 5. 2Br with an alkyl …

Visual sensing of humidity and temperature by solids plays an important role in the everyday
life and in industrial processes. Due to their hydrophobic nature, most covalent organic …

Atmospheric moisture uptake by materials of varying hygroscopicity can substantially alter
their physicochemical properties and thus has long been a point of interest in the …

The uptake of atmospheric moisture by hygroscopic materials can have marked effects on a
material's physical and chemical properties. This is true of materials that go on to incorporate …

Herein we present the use of a Gemini surfactant and reverse froth flotation to efficiently
separate magnetite from quartz and produce iron ore at 273 K. This surfactant achieved an …

There is growing interest in creating solids that are responsive to various stimuli. Herein we
report the first molecular-level mechanistic picture of the thermochromic polymorphic …

The increasing frequency with which organic pollutants can be found in global surface water
poses a formidable threat to both our environment and its creatures. While the problem has …

A novel polyviologen-based molecular architecture was developed via the step-growth
polymerization of a hydroxyl-substituted aryl dihydrazide with a water soluble viologen …

A versatile synthetic approach was applied to synthesize a polyviologen (PV. nBr) polymer
via step-growth polymerization of a tetraethylene glycol-linked trinapthyl-based dihydrazide …

Ditopic bis-(triazole/pyridine) viologens are bidentate ligands that self-assemble into
coordination polymers. In such photo-responsive materials, light irradiation initiates photo …
