Radical polymerization of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene in coordination nanochannels†
Abstract
Radical polymerization of unpolymerizable sterically hindered butadiene was successfully performed in the nanochannels of porous coordination polymers because of the effective suppression of unfavourable termination reactions. Microstructures of the resulting polymer could also be tuned depending on the structure of the porous hosts.
