Hyperbranched polyesters are among the most common hyperbranched polymers. One of the interesting features of hyperbranched polyesters is that they contain unreacted hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups at the linear and terminal structural units, which can ...
We report seven heteroleptic cationic iridium(III) complexes with cyclometalating N-arylazoles and alkyl/aryl isocyanides, ((CN)-N-boolean AND)(2)Ir(CNR)(2), and characterize two of them by crystal structure analysis. The complexes are air- and m ...
Polyelectrolytes (PEL) and PEL complexes formed by electrostatic interaction are recognized as compounds with a remarkable potential for a wide field of applications. However, comprehensive knowledge about electrostatic and structural influences on the pol ...
Strategies that allow access to side-chain functional polyesters are valuable as they would enable to engineer the properties of these hydrolytically degradable materials. This contribution explores the feasibility of a novel approach toward side-chain fun ...
Aliphatic polyesters receive increasing attention over the last years driven by their application as biodegradable substitutes for conventional commodity thermoplastics and applications in the biomedical field, where amongst the family of biodegradable pol ...
Enol phosphinates and phosphonates can be readily prepared from simple lactams in high yields and are both stable and storable. Both these substrates can be employed successfully in homogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura and Stille cross-couplings protocols. Additiona ...
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equiv. to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic ac ...
Cast polyurethane thermosets have been modified with randomly oriented exfoliated and intercalated montmorillonite clay usinghyperbranched polymers (HBP) as reactive additives to promote dispersion of the clay platelets. The influence of the clay content o ...
A review. This account reviews the synthesis of functionalized isocyanides, including isocyanoacetate and isocyanoacetamide derivs., and their application in multicomponent and domino reactions. Among these reaction, the three-component condensation of iso ...
It was possible to functionalize the three fluorobenzyl alcs. and the three 2-(fluorophenyl)ethanols by metalation and subsequent carboxylation, the prototype electrophilic trapping reaction. Triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) outperformed methoxymethyl (MOM) as an ...
