Direct heteroarylation polymerization (DHAP) has been achieved for P(NDI2OD-T2) with a consistent molar mass using a modified A-B-A monomer and a recyclable heterogeneous SiliaCat Pd-DPP catalyst, for up to four consecutive reuses.
The N-oxide containing conjugated semiconducting polymer is synthesized by direct (hetero)arylation polymerization and exhibit enhanced electron mobility compared to its non-oxide analogous polymer.
Carbon–carbon (C–C) bond formation can be accomplished by various highly chemo-, regio- and/or stereoselective enzymatic reactions, sometimes through the catalytic promiscuity of enzymes.
An efficient approach for the automatic construction of medium-sized QM regions for biomolecular QM/MM simulations is presented and assessed for prototypical test cases.
A series of fused heterocyclic polymers containing a naphthoquinone structure were successfully designed and synthesized. The resulting polymers with excellent properties can be used as chemosensors for detecting Fe3+.
