The present review provides both a summary and outlook on the exciting field of BODIPYs in polymer chemistry.
Abstract Drawing inspiration from nature's own intricate designs, synthetic multimaterial structures have the potential to offer properties and functionality that exceed those of individual components. However, several contemporary hurdles, a lack efficient chemistries processing constraints, preclude rapid precise manufacturing such materials. Herein, development photocurable resin comprising color‐selective initiators is reported, triggering disparate polymerization mechanisms between...
Novel coumarinylmethyl photobase generators (PBGs) that induce polymerization upon exposure to visible light are described. PBG composition governs anionic vs. radical mechanisms, which will lead disparate polymer topologies and properties.
The lack of chemical diversity in light-driven reactions for 3D printing poses challenges the production structures with long-term ambient stability, recyclability, and breadth properties (mechanical, optical, etc.). Herein we expand scope photochemistries compatible by introducing onium photocages rapid formation poly(thiourethanes) (PTUs). Efficient nonsensitized visible-light photolysis releases organophosphine -amine derivatives that catalyze thiol–isocyanate polyaddition excellent...
The human heart's limited regenerative capacity is a significant barrier to addressing cardiovascular disease (CVD). This particularly true for cardiac fibrosis, form of CVD wherein the wound healing process has gone awry. In excessive scar tissue formation due dysregulated remodeling extracellular matrix (ECM) results in increased stiffness that reduces output and can lead heart failure. ECM deposition driven by activated fibroblasts, where cell substrate known play role fibroblast...
With the mounting need for clean and renewable energy, catalysts hydrogen production based on earth abundant elements are of great interest. Herein, we describe synthesis, characterization, catalytic activity two nickel complexes pyridinediimine ligand that possess basic nitrogen moieties pyridine imidazole could potentially serve as pendent bases to enhance catalysis. Although these ligands have previously been reported be complexed some metal ions, they not applied nickel. The complex with...
