In recent years, boronic acids and boronate esters have been important intermediates for cross-coupling reactions and other functional group construction and are often used to synthesize small organic molecules, drugs, and bioactive substances. In this feature article, we encapsulate the strategy of harnessing the unique properties of organoboron reagents to overcome challenges encountered in conventional polymer synthesis. We delve into the synthesis of boron-containing monomers and polymer materials, unraveling the unique attributes of these newfound polymers while offering innovative insights into their application within recyclable or reprocessable materials. We develop organoboron-based photocatalysts, employing their inner-sphere electron transfer(ISET) mechanisms to initiate controlled radical polymerization. We utilize alkylborane to initiate controlled radical polymerization and further designed B-alkylcatecholboranes to prepare ultra-high molecular weight polymers. Notably, we also propose a liquid-phase synthesis method based on organoboron tags and apply it to the precise synthesis of sequence-controlled conjugated polymers.These advancements open up new frontiers in the realm of polymer science, and the versatility and potential of organoboron reagents in polymer synthesis continue to inspire exciting research endeavors.展开更多

The title complex consists of 2D 2 ∞ [Co(phen)(μ-L)3/3] layers and crystal water molecules. Each Co atom is octahedrally coordinated by three N atoms and three O atoms to form 2D 2 ∞ [Co(phen)(μ-L)3/3] polymeric layers. Furthermore, such 2D layers are stacked into 3D supramolecular frameworks via Van der Waals’ intermolecular forces, strong and weak hydrogen-bond interactions. The coordination phen and crystal water molecules are resided into cavities of the frameworks.
文摘The use of living, alkyllithium-initiated anionic polymerization to prepare chain-end functionalized polymers and heteroarm, star-branched polymers is discussed. The scope and limitations of specific termination reactions with a variety of electrophilic species are illustrated for carbonation, hydroxyethylation, amination, and sulfonation. The methodology of using substituted 1,1-diphenylethylenes to provide a general, quantitative functionalization procedure is outlined and illustrated with examples of amine and phenol end-functionalization. A methodology is described for the synthesis of functionalized, star-branched copolymers with compositionally heterogeneous arms of controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution using 1, 3-bis(1-pbenylethenyl) benzene.

文摘Although large amounts of engineered nanomaterials have been used for the arsenic removal, today there still remains several serious impediments to its further application, including consumption of expensive and pure salts, and only application for the removal of inorganic arsenic. In this work, we developed an eco-economic and facile electrochemical method to synthesize iron porous coordination polymers （FePCPs） for the simultaneous removal of inorganic and organic arsenic from natural water.

文摘Solvothermal reaction of Pb（NO3）2·6H2O with rigid linear ligand terephthalic acid（H2pta） in N,N-dimethylformamide（DMF） produced a new three-dimensional（3D） lead（Ⅱ）coordination polymer[Pb2（pta）1.5（μ4-OH）（DMF）]n 1,and its structure was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.In polymer 1,the μ4-OH bridges the nearby lead（Ⅱ） ions into an infinite one-dimensional（1D） chain,and then the organic ligand pta^2- joins the neighbored chains into a 3D structure by two similar connection modes in different configurations.The solid-state photoluminescent studies revealed that 1 exhibits a strong greenish emission mainly originating from ligand-to-metal charge transfer between the delocalized π bonds of the aromatic carboxylate ligand pta^2- and the p orbitals of the Pb^2＋ centers.
