Emulsion templating presently extends far beyond the original hydrophobic porous polymers that were synthesized within surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) by using free radical polymerization. This Perspective presents extraordinary versatility of emulsion has emerged with growing numbers HIPE systems, stabilization strategies, monomers, polymerization chemistries, multicomponent materials, and surface functionalities. now goes "porous polymers"...
Interfacial step growth polymerization within oil-in-water high internal phase emulsions was used to synthesize poly(urethane urea) monoliths, consisting of 90% organic change material encapsulated micrometer-scale capsules, for thermal energy storage and release applications.
By the employment of hydrothermal methods, four lead 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylates with compositions Pb(1,3-CHDC)(H(2)O), I, [(OPb(4))(2)(OH)(2)(C(2)O(4))(1,3-CHDC)(4)].H(2)O, II, Pb(2)(1,3-CHDC)(2)(H(2)O), III, and (OPb(3))(1,3-CHDC)(2), IV, have been prepared characterized. Of these, I II layered structures while III IV three-dimensional structures. I-III are hybrid possessing extended inorganic connectivity in one or two-dimensions (I(n), n = 1 2) involving infinite Pb-O-Pb linkages along...
Slip-sliding away: Gold(I) cations bind to only one double bond of a 1,3-diene unit but can glide over the C4 backbone on low-activation-energy pathway. However, binding mode is influenced by substituents diene backbone, which also induces significantly higher barrier migration.
Reaction of equimolar quantities MX (M = Au, Cu, X Cl; M Ag, OTf) and GaCl(3) in CH(2)Cl(2) with P(4) leads to phosphorus ligating a cationic coinage metal centre. For Cu ion-contacted coordination polymers are formed; for an ion-separated complex is observed that features the [Au(η(2)-P(4))(2)](+) cation, which first homoleptic Au-P(4) be characterised condensed phase.
Cyclopentadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene are readily polymerised by [LAu][X]. With specific ancillary ligands polymerisation was suppressed a molecular species involving an Au(I) cation η(2)-bonding CpH isolated whose structure probed in both the solid state solution.
Relativistic DFT calculations rationalise hydride NMR chemical shifts in a range of Ru complexes.
Einfacher Platzwechsel: Gold(I)-Kationen binden nur an eine Doppelbindung einer 1,3-Dieneinheit, können aber auf einem Weg mit geringer Aktivierungsenergie über das C4-Gerüst gleiten. Doch die Bindungsart wird von Substituenten am Diengerüst beeinflusst, was auch zu deutlich höheren Barrieren für Wanderung führt. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They made available...
Abstract The ability of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) to form a host–guest complex with relatively hydrophobic molecules such as bisphenol A (BPA), common wastewater contaminant, has inspired the development β‐CD‐containing polymers for adsorption applications. For most part, these are powders, which can limit their applicability. Here, low‐density (~0.1 g cm −3 ), macroporous monoliths based on unmodified β‐CD were synthesized using emulsion templating. simple, one‐pot, polyurethane synthesis took...
Inappropriate and disproportionate use of antibiotics have led to a rapid increase in antibacterial resistance.

Abstract Cationic gold(I) complexes of phosphaalkynes are formed by the interaction [P t Bu 2 ( o ‐biphenyl)AuCl] with AgSbF 6 and an excess amount RC≡P in CH Cl at room temperature. Free coordinated phosphaalkyne readily exchange through associative mechanism. In solid state, binds a π fashion slips towards carbon end triple bond.
Quasi-block copolymers (q-BCPs) are block consisting of conventional and supramolecular blocks, in which the is end-terminated by a functionality that interacts with monomer (a "chain stopper" functionality). A new design q-BCPs based on general polymeric chain stopper, consists polystyrene sulfonate group (PS-SO3 Li), described. Through viscosity measurements detailed diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy study, it shown PS-SO3 Li can effectively cap two types model monomers to form solution....
Arrays of alternating metallic nanostructures present hybrid properties, which are useful for applications in photonics and catalysis. Block copolymer films provide versatile templates fabricating periodic arrays nanowires. Yet, creating with compositions or structures requires different modifications domains the same kind. By controlling penetration depth metal precursors into film we were able to impregnate layers cylinders metals. Capitalizing on hexagonal packing led simultaneous...
