The thiol-ene ‘click’ reaction is well known as an efficient method for synthesizing certain functional polymers. In this study, we performed the ternary ‘click’ copolymerization (gelation ...

Now, chemists report a novel, thiol-free synthesis technique comprising a nickel-catalyzed aryl exchange between 2-pyridyl sulfide and aromatic esters, providing a versatile and inexpensive ...

Thiol-thioester exchange within these polymer networks gives way to extremely rapid, room temperature plasticity. Because plasticity occurs under ambient conditions and the thiol functional group is ...
