Aqueous single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) has been employed to synthesize multi-block homopolymers and copolymers of a range of acrylamide monomers including N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA), N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) and N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEA).
Stoddart and colleagues present a unique strategy for constructing a two-channel intramolecular circuit from a charged cyclophane. An interchannel gating effect contributes to the effective conductance of each channel, and constructive quantum interference enhances the total conductance in parallel two-channel circuits, leading synergistically to a giant conductance that is more than 50-fold that of a control molecule with a single backbone. This principle heralds a proof-ofprinciple approach to charged intramolecular circuits that are desirable for quantum circuits and devices. tive conductance of each channel-and CQI boosts the total conductance of the two-channel circuit. The molecular design presented herein constitutes a proof-of-principle approach to charged intramolecular circuits that are desirable for quantum circuits and devices.
The synthesis of well-defined α,ω-dihydroxyl telechelic multiblock copolymers by sequential in situ chain extensions via aqueous Cu(0) mediated living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) is reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
