<i>N</i>‐heterocyclic carbene copper complexes catalyze the <span>C1</span> polymerization of substituted diazomethanes Open
The C1 polymerization of substituted diazomethanes, including diazoethane and 2,2,2‐trifluoromethyl diazomethane, are reported. N ‐heterocyclic carbene copper complexes were employed as catalysts for the polymerization reactions and afford…

Mirror-like and large grain graphite film: Synthesis and properties Open
Graphite films with large grain sizes have been reportedly obtained by using metal as catalysts, but the obtained graphite is mostly heavily wrinkled, thus containing defects that degrade its properties. We report the synthesis of mirror-l…

Megadalton Macromolecules Made-to-Order in Minutes: A Highly Active Nanosphere Catalyst for Preparing High-Molecular Weight Polymers Open
A rhodium(I)-based polymer, [Rh2(cyclooctatetraene)-Cl2]n, was used as a heterogeneous catalyst to prepare stereoregular poly(phenylacetylene) under ambient conditions and within short periods of time. Ultrahigh-molecular weight polymers w…

C1 Polymerization of Fluorinated Aryl Diazomethanes Open
A library of fluorinated aryl diazomethanes were polymerized using BF3·OEt2 as a catalyst. The polymerization of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl diazomethane was found to be controlled, permitted chain extensions, and facilitated access to a s…

<span>Nickel‐catalyzed</span> polymerization of a substituted sulfoxonium ylide Open
The homopolymerization of (dimethylamino)phenylsulfoxonium ethylide, a substituted sulfoxonium ylide, is reported. Treatment of the monomer with a readily available Ni(II) catalyst afforded poly[(1‐butene)‐ ran ‐(2‐butene)‐ ran ‐(ethylene)…

Agar-reduced graphene oxide selectively adsorbs organic dyes and strengthens double-network hydrogels Open
Agar-reduced graphene oxide was conveniently synthesized from readily available precursors and found to selectively adsorb cationic organic dyes as well as to enhance the mechanical properties exhibited by various types of double-network h…
