DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.9b00466
Abstract: Azaborinine-substituted polymers are poised to dramatically expand the diversity and functionality of polystyrenes via BN for CC substitution, but this new class of materials remains underexplored. Although formally isosteric to the respective all-carbon polystyrene derivatives,… read more here.
