Competing Effects of Hydration and Cation Complexation in Single-Chain Alginate

Alginic acid, a naturally occurring anionic polyelectrolyte, forms strong physically cross-linked hydrogels in the presence of metal cations. The latter engage in electrostatic interactions that compete with intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, determ ...

Isolation, Characterisation and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Diazoolefins

Paul Varava

Examples for applications of nitrous oxide in organic synthesis remain rare up until today. First mayor contributions of our group were published in 2012, when nitrous oxide was successfully captured by N-heterocyclic carbenes. Subsequent studies investiga ...

Structure-Property Relationships of Microphase-Separated Metallosupramolecular Polymers

Emad Oveisi, Stephen Schrettl

The structural, thermomechanical, and viscoelastic properties of metallosupramolecular polymers (MSPs) can be controlled through the choice of the multiligand monomer and the nature of the metal salt from which these materials are assembled. This versatili ...
