📢: Magic Monday! Our great Ph.D. candidate @ashton_rda reports the synthesis of pentiptycene ether sulfone macromonomers en route to PIMs. The different robust conditions provide access to a variety of polymers. Tons of pentiptycenes for the lab to go! authors.elsevier.com/c/1k-Np…

🚨: New paper out! Just a few hours ago in @J_A_C_S, our postdoc @Bergy_Dunitz introduces maleimide polyacetylene (mPA), a new n-type conjugated polymer with good conductivity & ambient stability, accessed via mild, base-mediated oxidation. Huge congrats! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c01955
