Abstract:The preparation of
a polymer carrier for a boron delivery agent
is presented through a combination of experimental and computational
studies. A dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (B12H12)2– (B12) anion was used
as a model boron-containing agent due to its high boron content. Quaternized
poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (QP2VP-b-PEO) was chosen as a model neutral–cationic block
copolymer to construct the carrier. The electrostatic association
between QP2VP and B12 induced the self-assembly of QP2VP-b… Show more
