We report the first system of ladder polymers capable of interconversion between rigid and flexible conformations by coordination and elimination of a Lewis acid (BPh2Cl) on diazacyclooctane units in the main chain.
We report a versatile synthetic method for selectively obtaining symmetrical or unsymmetrical N,N′-dialkylated DACO-containing flexible ladder polymers with various functionalities.
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.
