Precisely Controlled Macromolecular Architecture by ATRPVarious well-defined polymers with precisely controlled macromolecular architecture were prepared under environmentally benign conditions, with ppm of catalysts, in an aqueous environment, and in open-air with temporal control by light, electrical current, mechanical forces, or benign chemicals such as ascorbic acid. The dynamic exchange between active radicals and dormant species ...
Polaritons are hybrid light-matter states that arise from strong interactions between the confined electromagnetic field of an optical cavity and an ensemble of intracavity molecules. Molecules under such strong cavity coupling appear to demonstrate distinct reactivity and photochemistry from molecules in free space, but the mechanisms and scope of these ...
Macrocyclic arene compounds have played a fundamental role in the development of supramolecular chemistry. Research on these systems have laid the foundations to explore and establish non-covalent interactions, e.g., hydrogen bonding, pi···pi stacking, C-H···pi interactions. My research group has taken the basic principles of macrocyclic arenes to design architectures enforcing ...
