A Dithio Vinylthio C2 Synthon Enabling Crystalline and Luminescent Sulfur‐Decorated Polymers

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Transforming CaC2 into a modular C2 building block enables the synthesis of α,ω‐bis(vinylthio) monomer and its conversion into crystalline, sequence‐defined sulfur‐decorated polymers. Their dense thioether clustering induces nonconventional luminescence and provides structure–function control in a more‐sustainable polymer platform.
