Phase transfer Pd(O) catalyzed polymerization reactions. I. Synthesis of 1,2‐(4,4′;‐dialkoxyaryl) acetylene monomers and 1,4‐Bis[2‐(4′,4″‐dialkoxyphenyl)ethynyl]benzene derivatives by phase transfer Pd(O)/Cu(I) catalyzed coupling reactions
Coleen Pugh,Virgil Percec +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three variations of a one pot phase transfer Pd(O)/Cu(I) catalyzed coupling of aryl halides with a protected acetylene were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Existence of highly ordered smectic structures in a series of main-chain liquid-crystalline polyethers
Yeocheol Yoon,Rong-Ming Ho,Fuming Li,Mark Leland,Jae-Young Park,Stephen Z. D. Cheng,Virgil Percec,Peihwei Chu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of polyethers has been synthesized from 1-(4-hydroxy-4′-biphenyl)-2-(4hydroxyphenyl) propane and α,ω-dibromoalkanes having both odd and even numbers of methylene units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinduced Upgrading of Lactic Acid-Based Solvents to Block Copolymer Surfactants
Nabil Bensabeh,Adrian Moreno,Adrià Roig,Mehrnoush Rahimzadeh,Mehrnoush Rahimzadeh,Khosrow Rahimi,Khosrow Rahimi,Juan C. Ronda,Virginia Cádiz,Marina Galià,Virgil Percec,Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger,Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger,Gerard Lligadas +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of green solvents as biobased platform chemicals to generate well-defined and nanostructure-forming materials was reported, and the resulting amphiphilic copolymers could self-assemble in aqueous solution to form nanoparticles with different morphologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Concanavalin A Binding to Preorganized Mannose Nanoarrays in Glycodendrimersomes Revealed Multivalent Interactions
Nina Yu. Kostina,Dominik Söder,Tamás Haraszti,Qi Xiao,Qi Xiao,Khosrow Rahimi,Benjamin E. Partridge,Michael L. Klein,Virgil Percec,Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the two-dimensional glycan display on glycanlectin recognition remains poorly understood despite the importance of these interactions in a plethora of cellular processes, in (patho)physiology, as well as its potential for advanced therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replacing Cu(II)Br2 with Me6-TREN in Biphasic Cu(0)/TREN Catalyzed SET-LRP Reveals the Mixed-Ligand Effect
Xiaojing Feng,Xiaojing Feng,Devendra S. Maurya,Nabil Bensabeh,Adrian Moreno,Takahiro Oh,Takahiro Oh,Yuqing Luo,Ja Nis Lejnieks,Marina Galià,Yoshiko Miura,Michael J. Monteiro,Gerard Lligadas,Virgil Percec +13 more
TL;DR: A new single dynamic ligand generated by hydrogen-bonding may be responsible for the mixed-ligand effect observed, which enhanced the apparent rate constant of propagation, monomer conversion and molecular weight control.
