Catechol‐Based Biomimetic Functional Materials [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2012 AbstractCatechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to several properties uniquely found together in the o‐dihydroxyaryl chemical function; namely, its ability to establish reversible equilibria at moderate redox potentials and ...
