Chiral Recognition in Molecular and Macromolecular Pairs of (S)- and (R)-1-Cyano-2-methylpropyl-4*- {(4-(8-vinyloxyoctyloxy)benzoyl)oxy}biphenyl-4- carboxylate Enantiomers
TL;DR: In this paper, the mesomorphic properties of enantiomeric composition were investigated for four different pairs of enantiotropic enantiomers, (S)-11/(R)-11, poly((S)- 11/poly((R)- 11), and poly(S-11)/poly(R-11), with similar and dissimilar molecular weights.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intramolecular charge transfer complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, copolymerization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl) carbazolyl methacrylate and methACryloyl-β-hydroxyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoate in dioxan at different temperatures and total monomer concentrations demonstrates the deviation of this system from the terminal model, although the Kelen-Tudos plots are always straight lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid crystalline copolymers of monomer-pairs containing mesogenic units which exhibit constitutional isomerism
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of side-chain liquid crystalline copolymers obtained from a monomer pair containing a mesogenic unit which exhibits constitutional isomerism are presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Legacy of Hermann Staudinger: Covalently Linked Macromolecules
Virgil Percec,Qi Xiao +1 more
TL;DR: In 1920, at age 39 and the peak of his professional carrier, one of the most distinguished organic chemists of his generation, Hermann Staudinger, claimed that natural and synthetic polymers are covalent macromolecules rather than colloidal aggregates.
Journal Article
Synthesis of perfectly bifunctional polyacrylates by single-electron-transfer living radical polymerization Part A Polymer chemistry
Gerard Lligadas,Virgil Percec +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a set of polyacrylates with α,ω-di(bromo) chain ends and Mn from 8500 to 35,000 were synthesized by SET-LRP.
