Unprecedented plasmon-induced nitroxide-mediated polymerization (PI-NMP): a method for preparation of functional surfaces

Abstract

The first method of plasmon-induced nitroxide-mediated polymerization on periodical gold gratings has been developed.

Сan Plasmon Change Reaction Path? An Unprecedented Regioselective Decomposition of Unsymmetrical Iodonium Salts

“…The plasmon can be considered as one the most groundbreaking approach for the activation of organic reactions. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Nowadays, plasmon activation has been widely applied for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, [9][10][11] hydrogenation, [12][13][14][15] cycloaddition, 16,17 oxidative reactions, [18][19][20] polymerization, [21][22][23] methane reforming, 24 and so forth, whereby the utilization of plasmon allows achieving good yield of desired compounds under extremely mild conditions. Nevertheless, despite these impressive advances, the exact mechanism of plasmon activation of organic compounds has not been fully described yet.…”

Surface Engineering with Polymer Brush Photolithography

“…[97,98] More recently, Guselnikova et al reported a plasmon-induced NMP on gold surface to grow block copolymer brushes. [99] Both contributions suggested light-mediated SI-NMP to be a promising technique to fabricate patterned polymer brushes. In conclusion, a wide variety of options are available for photolithography using SI-CRP.…”

An enzymatic acetal/hemiacetal conversion for the physiological temperature activation of the alkoxyamine C–ON bond homolysis

“…Labile alkoxyamines were first [1][2][3][4] applied, in 1986, as controller/initiator agents for Nitroxide Mediated Polymerization (NMP). [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] During the last decade, several variants -Enhanced Spin Capture Polymerization (ESCP), 12 Nitroxide Mediated PhotoPolymerization (NMP2), [13][14][15] Coordination Initiated-NMP (CI-NMP), 16 Surface Initiated-NMP (SI-NMP), 17 Spin Label NMP (SL-NMP), 18,19 Plasmon Initiated NMP (PI-NMP) 20 have emerged, which extend the versatility of this radical polymerization technique. Recently, the lability of the C-ON bond has been used to develop new applications of alkoxyamines, e.g., self-healing polymers, 21,22 dynamic microcrystal assemblies, 23 and information-encoding polymers.…”
