Abstract: Switchable catalysts respond to various types of stimuli in a manner that results in distinct structural or electronic changes. When each state exhibits a different activity, selectivity, or solubility, the corresponding catalyst may be used… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym15051306
Abstract: Unlike azobenzene, the photoisomerization behavior of its ethylene-bridged derivative, diazocine, has hardly been explored in synthetic polymers. In this communication, linear photoresponsive poly(thioether)s containing diazocine moieties in the polymer backbone with different spacer lengths are… read more here.
