Monolithic Porous Polymer Architectures for Visible‐to‐UV Upconversion‐Driven Photochemical Reactions

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Porous polymer monoliths embedded with sensitizer–annihilator dye pairs enable efficient solid‐state visible‐to‐ultraviolet triplet–triplet annihilation‐based photon upconversion under low‐intensity blue and green light. Their co‐continuous porous architectures balance chromophore interactions with substrate accessibility, providing robust and tunable ...

A Tert‐Alkyl Terephthalate Derivative as a Universal Degradable Unit for Condensation Polymers

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A sterically bulky dicarboxylic acid core bearing a tertiary alkyl ester enables photocatalytic C─O bond cleavage via generation of a stabilized tertiary alkyl radical. Incorporated into polyarylate, polyurethane, and polyester, this universal trigger facilitates efficient degradation under identical conditions (up to 99% within 2–4 h). Remarkably, the

High‐Tg Polythioesters From Isomerization Ring‐Opening Polymerization of a Renewable Oxanorbornane‐Fused Thionolactone

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A biobased tricyclic thionolactone undergoes selective isomerization ring‐opening polymerization to yield a high‐molecular‐weight polythioester with an exceptionally high Tg of 171°C, exceeding that of the analogous polyester. The polythioester efficiently depolymerizes through backbiting, while its hydrolysis and methanolysis reveal the critical ...

Flavin Catalysts in Organic Synthesis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Flavins and their congeners are potent catalysts for organic synthesis inspired by enzymatic transformations. In addition to catalysis in the flavin ground state via covalent intermediates, the excited singlet and triplet states unlock applications including photooxidation, photoreduction, and energy transfer via sensitization.

Degradable Alternating Copolymers With Strained Cyclobutane Backbones via Photocontrolled RAFT Polymerization

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A photocontrolled RAFT strategy enables the alternating copolymerization of 1,3‐disubstituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes with electron‐deficient comonomers, affording well‐defined copolymers bearing strained cyclobutane backbones. A high degree of alternation, tunable molecular weights, and excellent end‐group fidelity are achieved through a CTA‐mediated ...
