Data archive for "Substituent effects on transient, carbodiimide-induced geometry changes in diphenic acids"
Nucleotide-induced conformational changes in motor proteins are key to many important cell functions. Inspired by this biological behavior, we report a simple chemically fueled system that exhibits carbodiimide-induced ...
Data archive for "Guest-driven control of folding in a crown-ether-functionalized ortho-phenylene"
A crown-ether-functionalized o-phenylene tetramer has been synthesized and coassembled with monotopic and ditopic, achiral and chiral secondary ammonium ion guests. NMR spectroscopy shows that the o-phenylene forms both ...
Data archive for "Conformational control of ortho-phenylenes by terminal amides"
Control over the folding of oligomers, be it broad induction of a preferred helical handedness or subtle changes in the orientations of individual functional groups, is important for applications ranging from molecular ...
Data archive for "Carbodiimide-driven toughening of interpenetrated polymer networks"
Recent work has demonstrated that temporary crosslinks in polymer networks generated by chemical “fuels” afford materials with large, transient changes in their mechanical properties. This can be accomplished in ...
Data archive for "Dissipative assembly of macrocycles comprising multiple transient bonds"
Dissipative (nonequilibrium) assembly powered by chemical fuels has great potential for the creation of new adaptive chemical systems. However, while molecular assembly at equilibrium is routinely used to prepare complex ...
Data archive for "Fluorine Labeling of ortho-Phenylenes to Facilitate Conformational Analysis"
1H NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the conformational analysis of ortho-phenylene foldamers in solution. However, as o-phenylenes are integrated into ever more complex systems, we are reaching the limits of what ...
Data archive for "Transient Polymers through Carbodiimide-driven Assembly"
Biochemical systems make use of out-of-equilibrium polymers generated under kinetic control. Inspired by these systems, abiotic supramolecular polymers driven by chemical fuel reactions have recently been reported. Conversely, ...
Data archive for "Chemically fueled covalent crosslinking of polymer materials"
Transiently crosslinked dynamic polymer networks are developed, using carbodiimide hydration to link carboxylic acids as anhydrides. From aqueous polymer solutions, non-equilibrium hydrogels are transiently formed, which ...
